What is your prediction at this point?tl;dr: Defense wants the Judge to have full control over sentencing instead of the Jury.
Was Nelson the only one to actually give a shit about his job?Fellow Kiwis, I just want to say that no matter what the verdict is or whatever happens, this trial was just as retarded, stupid, incompetent, and disastrous as it should have been.
It has been an honor to sneed with you, Godspeed.
That’s why it’s funny. It’s the straightman concept and all that.Was Nelson the only one to actually give a shit about his job?
It's over. The Judge said they are in recess until they hear from the jury.The Sun is down! Where's a new livestream?
If Chauvin is convicted, there will be a presentence investigation to help determine the length of his sentence. Lange described this as a "background check" to learn more about his character and habits.
"That would allow the whole of the defendant’s life to come into play, which will not happen during the trial," Lange said. "Everything he’s been up to could be opened to the public."
During this stage, the prosecution is expected to ask the judge for an upward departure in the sentence, and would have to state the grounds. The sentencing guidelines establish specific criteria for this. One such possible grounds for departure could be "crimes committed in front of children," since a 9-year-old bystander testified at trial.
"Once they do that then the judge is free to determine whether or not to accept the upward departure or sentence according to the guidelines," Lange said.
According to the Minnesota sentencing guidelines, the presumptive sentence for a person such as Chauvin with no criminal history is the same for murder in the third degree and unintentional murder in the second degree: 12 and a half years. The guidelines give the judge discretion to sentence anywhere from 10 years and eight months to 15 years.
But if the judge rules that aggravating factors are present and he departs from the guidelines, the maximum sentence would be 40 years for second-degree murder, 25 years for third-degree murder and 10 years for second-degree manslaughter.
