Chauvin sentencing in Floyd death pushed back to June 25

<p>MINNEAPOLIS &mdash; Sentencing for former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin in George Floyd’s death has been pushed back to June 25, according to online court records.</p>
<p>Chauvin’s June 16 hearing was reset by Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill. A brief entry Thursday in the online court docket gave no reason, but court spokesman Spenser Bickett said it was moved due a scheduling conflict.</p>
<p>The hearing time remains 1:30 p.m. CDT.</p>
<p>Chauvin, 45, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/derek-chauvin-trial-live-updates-04-20-2021-955a78df9a7a51835ad63afb8ce9b5c1">was convicted April 20</a> of all three counts against him: second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Under Minnesota statutes he’ll only be sentenced on the most serious one — second-degree murder.</p>
<p>While that count carries a maximum sentence of 40 years, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/death-of-george-floyd-6a14adc37fc9205129f7a5c5207aa69e">experts say he won’t get that much</a>. They say that for all practical purposes, the maximum he would face is 30 years, and he could get less. </p>
<p>The convictions came after a jury deliberated for parts of two days following three weeks of testimony from bystanders, medical experts and police use-of-force trainers. </p>
