Should have been life without parole but this was better than I expected and about as good as could be reasonably hoped for.

I don't even know what to think. Usually someone in his position gets to do what he did with no punishment. I guess its fair.

That's roughly about right for a second degree murder charge... but this is clearly a worse crime than that, as the duration of the suffocation is so long that any "heat of the moment" defense dissipates. I don't know if I'd call it first-degree, but between that factor and it being an abuse of power by an authority figure who is responsible for protecting the public, in a just world, this sentence is too short by half

I dunno. its a lot more than nothing, but less than being sent to the shadow realm like he deserves. Im not outraged about it.

It's not a directly relevant thought but my brain went from "that's better than I expected" to "ok but aren't there people rotting in jail for longer sentences for simple drug offenses?"

Are we talking fair based on the law or fair based on actual events?

Nah, this is a directly relevant thought in that the length of one specific sentence is irrelevant to the problems of the criminal justice system at large. A maximum sentence (30 years) would have been better but I don't think it would have sent a dramatically harsher message or prevented any more deaths so this sentence is "okay."

too harsh. chauvin didn't have his knee on george floyd's neck. floyd died because he was on drugs.

I mean, I wouldn't outright call it fair, but better than I was expecting, and much better than most murderous cops get

Don't really care if he gets 10 or 20. it's enough.

Too lenient, IMO, but I'm also considering the very likely "will die in prison" outcome.

you can skip to 23:30 for his prediction. But as a spoiler the sentence is right in the middle of what he guessed.

I really enjoy his channel and the video spread a lot of insight on how they probably came to the sentencing.

idk at some point it's like, if being locked up for 20+ years isn't enough you might as well just give them a life sentence, especially at his age. If he got 40 years or something he's probably dying in prison anyway
