In the wake of the guilty verdicts of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the homicide of George Floyd there are some frequently asked question: 1. Why was Chauvin charged with three seperate homicide counts for just one killing;2. How might the judge sentence Chauvin on those three offenses of conviction;3. What is the average/guideline sentence for his crimes under Minnesota law; and4. How might the "aggravating factors" being pursued by the prosecutors impact the sentence?Here is an explainer my based on my experiences as a career homicide prosecutor. For our newly launched Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise shop, please visit: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkirschner/Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at:  https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschnerMy podcast, "Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner" can be downloaded where you get your podcasts.Follow me on:Twitter:  https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirschner2
