Speaker Heastie Statement on the Sentencing of Derek Chauvin
The murder of George Floyd was a tragedy, one that became a rallying cry and a call to action across our country. Today, Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22 and half years in prison for his murder. I hope that today’s sentencing brings George Floyd’s family and friends a sense of justice, and that they are able to find peace.
