Prosecutors are seeking a 30-year sentence for the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd, but a defense attorney is asking that Derek Chauvin be sentenced to probation and time already served.
The Olmsted County Attorney’s office initially charged Kaleb Smith with 2nd-degree murder and felony assault in juvenile court a few days after the death of the 5-year-old on June 1st last year.
