minneapolis police officer derek chauvin has been sentenced to more than 22 years in prison for the murder of george floyd. earlier in the day, the judge dismissed derek chauvin's request for a new trial before sentencing. we heard from members of floyd's family and for the first time, from derek chauvin himself. faith abubey shows us how rare it is for a police officer to be sent to prison for murder. >> i want to give my condolences to the floyd family. >> reporter: the day george floyd's family has been waiting for. >> the court commits you to custody of the commissioner, for a period of 270 months. there a moment of accountability, exactly 13 months to the day a jury says former police officer derek chauvin murdered floyd on the streets of minneapolis. but, a rare moment in court, derek chauvin, now only one of 10 police officers in the country sentenced to prison for murder on the job in the last 16 years. before the sentencing, the judge determined there were aggravating factors in floyd's murder, like acting with particular cruelty, derek chauvin abusing his position of trust and authority, and the fact that his deadly restraint on floyd have been in fro

>> today in court, derek shaaban offered condolence -- derek chauvin offered condolences to the family. also -- the mother of derek chauvin continued to say her son was innocent and that people did not know the person like a family that. i was wondering what you thought, of the condolences from derek chauvin and the mother saying her son was innocent and people did not know derek chauvin like her family did. >> i just thought about it as the same thing with my brother. people did not know who my brother was. they labeled him. the trial was all about my brother. instead it should have been about mr. chauvin. the thing she spoke about, i understand that, because that is her son, and the same weight she spoke of her son, i spoke of my brother. so we all love our loved ones. but the fact that i will never see my brother again, is worse. because she still have the opportunity to see her son in the cell, anytime she wants to. >> when i heard his mother speak, and i respect any mother to stand up for their son. but it reminded me and i said in the eulogy here, that george called for his mother. and the one that seemed not to und

one way or another, 22 .5 years for derek chauvin -- 22.5 years for derek chauvin. 40 years would haveeen the maximum possible, 12 and a half the minimum possible. the prosecutor wanted 30 years. the prosecutor wanted 30 years and the defense wanted mr. shelving -- derek chauvin to walk free on probation, and walk free with days in prison already counted as a credit for him. jive -- judge cahill came down with 22.5 years, and the reason for this is the aggravating factors that he decided on a month ago. for example, derek chauvin showed specific cruelty when he was, for nine minutes and 45 seconds, on george floyd's neck. and he did it in the presence of minors, children. so there you have it -- 22.5 years. but here's the caveat. is this over? no, it is not. two reasons -- there is an appeal expected paid the defense as three months to file an appeal and appeal this judgment from judge cahill. reason number two is, there is a federal case pending against derek chauvin, and that is a civil rights case from temporal prosecutors -- from federal prosecutors. there is not even a court date

number is for this sentence, for derek chauvin today, he will presumptively serve two-thirds of that time behind bars. >> so, we know this is not the end for derek chauvin. also there are the three other officers who have been charged. what's next over the next several months? >> derek chauvin still has two more pending federal indictments against him. one of those charges him with the murder of george floyd. the other one relates to an incident where derek chauvin assaulted a 14-year-old with a flashlight, and of course the three other police officers still are facing both state charges and federal charges. the state charges have been put off until 2022. the federal kmcharges, we still don't have a trial date. they're going to be watching what happens closely, because they're not going to get as much time as derek chauvin but presumably they're going to get some percentage of the time he gets today. >> we're a little bit more than 15 minutes out from the start of procedures as they're scheduled today, of course, these can float a bit because of what's happening there in minneapolis. let's go to van jones. cnn senior legal analyst laura coates, and seni

minnesota is that defendants, convicted felons like derek chauvin serve approximately 2/3 of the time of a sentence, too, so in this case derek chauvin at approximately 16 years of that 22.5 sentence, but we also know there are federal charges that have been charged against derek chauvin, both with respect to the murder of george floyd and also with respect to how derek chauvin treated as 14-year-old teenager. he's accused of using a neck rest restraint, kneeling on the neck of this teenager for over 17 minutes. he's still facing federal charges. when several rights violations are approved and there's been a death, the penalties are pretty stiff, including life in prison and in some cases even the death penalty. >> it was so emotional listening to the victim impact statements from george floyd's family. i think you could sense that. you could really sense how heavy it likely was in the courtroom. i was struck, and you tweeted about this, derek chauvin's mother also gave a statement. as you pointed out in your tweet, in her statement she didn't mention george floyd, not once. clearly based on the memo, the judge had already figured ou

chauvin's side called just one impact victim, derek chauvin's mother who asked for leniency on his behalf. derek chauvin also gave brief remarks in which he offered his cop dole eppss to the floyd family. he also said cryptically to the floyd family, there will be information later that will be of interest and some things i think will give you some peace of mind. he directed that to the inside family. the july took those statements into account before handing down the sentence of any modern police officer, one of the longest sentences ever handed down for a police officer for a use of force case on the line of duty. the case of chauvin was initially brought, tim walls took the job of prosecuting chauvin from the prosecutor who would over seen this in normal events. he took the case out of the traditional system that has led to so many failed indictments not just in minnesota but around the country. he gave this case to minnesota's attorney general, keith ellison. he assembled the team of prosecutors that ultimately obtained not only a conviction here but now as of today, a historic sentence as well. sho

derek chauvin gave his condolences to them? >> it did mean something to them to hear derek chauvin break his one year long silence and apologize.re really is no equivalent -- equivalents that can be talked about here. the key focus for them was really to urge the activists that were on the ground to use this as a real turning point and keep fighting for justice moving forward. laura: briefly, the family of george floyd hope that his death will lead to lasting change, what did they think will be the measure of that? >> they talk about how they have a bit of account -- they got a bit of accountability out of the justice system. they said they need some out of the political system. they are calling for the george floyd policing act. restricting some of the measures of the police departments that have been harml in the past. they say that these are the things that will be the only way to bring true accountability to the policing system. they are fighting where they can and this is an act, every time they speak, they bring it up again and again as something they want to see immediately from members of congress. laura: thank you. in

a judge in minneapolis will sentence former police officer derek chauvin for the murder of george floyd. chauvin's defense team asking the judge for probation with time served. the prosecution wants 30 years in prison, the maximum sentence for the most serious is 40 years. for floyd's family, the sentencing marks the end of an emotional trial process. >> no sentence given is going to be truly justice for us. we can only just hope and pray that the maximum is given. >> reporter: before the judge hands down the sentence, he will hear several victim impact statements. chauvin will also have the opportunity to speak, but legal experts do not expect him to. he is still facing federal civil rights charges. impassioned protests erupted last summereling on floyd's neck for more than nine minutes. during the three-week trial the jury heard from 44 witnesses. >> that's the moment the life goes out of his body. >> reporter: in the end, they found chauvin guilty of unintentional second-degree murder, third degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. the verdict celebrated by many, also providing a measure o

chauvin's sentence and whether it should have been longer. >> it was more than what i expected but less than i think what possibly derek chauvin deserved. if i think about someone with aggravating circumstances or enhancements and still fell short of the 30 years that the prosecution had asked for, i had the personal question i wonder what derek chauvinded to do or needed to have done in a different way to have gotten that other eight years or so to get to the 30. that's still under the maximum, which i believe was 40. so even though that i was surprised that it was 22.5 years, i'm also surprised that it wasn't more given the facts and the circumstances. >> and do you venture a guess as to why it didn't reach that level? i mean the judge obviously had a 22-page ruling, a lot of detail in there. as far as the judge was concerned, you could tell he thought that he had gone the distance on this sentencing. >> yes. and when he was giving his decision, his judgment, i was under the opinion that once he said, i am not doing this out of emotion. i am not doing this in response to the public outcry, i was thinking that he was going to just bring the hammer. but he did not do that big picture, which says to me that derek chauvin being a former police officer did matter in a way ultimately that other defendants would not have been treated. now

court just imposed on derek chauvin, 22.5 years is one of the longest a former police officer has ever received for an unlawful use of deadly force. like the conviction of derek chauvin two months ago, today's sentencing is not justice, but it is another moment of real accountability on the road to justice. it's difficult to see anyone lose their freedom, but seeing somebody lose their life through torture over 9:30 minutes is incomparebly worse. those minutes and seconds are seared into the minds of people across the world who watched george floyd die. above all, the heroic people who stopped and witnessed tore george floyd's torture and came a year later to testify what they saw and to the floyd family members themselves and their counsel, we say thank you. the lives of everyone who saw what happened to george floyd are forever changed. my hope for derek chauvin is that he uses his long sentence to reflect on the choices that he made on may 25, 2020. my hope is that he will find it within himself to acknowledge the impact of his choices on george floid, his family and fellow police officers and the world. my hope is that he takes the time to learn something about t
