Judge rules there were aggravating factors in George Floyd death

May 12, 2021 By Scott Peterson

Judge Peter Cahill has ruled that prosecutors in the Derek Chauvin trial have proven “beyond a reasonable doubt” some aggravating sentencing factors. The ruling could mean a longer sentence for Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the murder of George Floyd. Cahill says prosecutors have proven that Chauvin abused a position of authority, treated Floyd with particular cruelty, children were present during the commission of the offense, and Chauvin committed the crime as a group with the active participation of at least three other people. Chauvin was convicted in April of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Chauvin is set to be sentenced on June 25th. Judge Cahill’s ruling can be found here.
