Derek Chauvin is spending 23 hours a day alone in 7-by-10-foot cell at Minnesota's only maximum security prison as he awaits sentencing for the murder of George Floyd.
Chauvin, 45, was whisked to the Minnesota Correctional Facility - Oak Park Heights on Tuesday and placed on suicide watch after a jury handed down its guilty verdict. The disgraced former Minneapolis cop will be held in solitary confinement in what's known as a 'Super Seg' single prison cell for the next eight weeks until his sentencing, where he faces up to 40 years.

Media salivating over this. I think it’s obscene.

Perhaps he should start screaming, "I can't breathe! I'm claustrophobic!" Certainly someone out there in the media, legal system or just your everyday woke citizen would demand that he be resituated to a different prison venue, right?

The single greatest responsibility for Floyd's death lies with George Floyd himself It is not 100% but this entire proceeding has been conducted on a direct assumption that the proportion is zero. Then injustice upon injustice has been piled up on this inequity. If Derek Chauvin is railroaded then we are all railroaded. You are just not on the cattle car - yet!

Yet I have had to read about this cop-killing vermin for years and people march to free him.

If I had been on the jury I would have voted guilty on manslaughter charges. As for the murder charges - we’d still be deliberating. They caved to that mob. Poster #1 is right, but it’s also obscene that we now judge guilt by mob rule. And what’s most obscene is that liberals are furious that conservatives are saying ‘the system worked’. The system definitely did not work, and there will never be enough hatred to make liberals happy. I am disgusted with all of them.

Mob justice. A modern day lynching, I'm thinking.
1. The evidence i saw indicated Floyd probably would have died from a drug overdose.
2. Additional evidence suggests the mom's unruly and aggressive attitude hindered medical aid from reaching Floyd.
3. While I recall the still picture showing Chauvin holding Floyd down, I have since seen the body cam footage, which indicates the location of his knee was mostly on Floyd's shoulders.
4. The mob and prominent politicians publicly proclaiming a guilty verdict was the only 'correct verdict is telling. Not a fair trial.
Conclusion: everyone might as well have been wearing white sheets and setting up burning crosses.

I think all the charges will be reversed upon appeal. Chauvin is guilty of bad optics, guilty of scowling at the camera while restraining Floyd...but being indifferent whether he killed Floyd or not?? I can't imagine any cop not caring whether he himself went to jail as a result of his carrying out his job.

#8 - Can I infer that the course of action you would have recommended would be to have allowed Floyd to report to the precinct on his own recognizance when he insisted in the car that he couldn’t breath? That way, no possibility of manslaughter and the only price paid is by the city of Minneapolis.

#11 the irony is there is no evidence that racism played any role in Floyd's demise but it us the overriding issue in Chauvin's conviction and will be in his punishment as well. Has anyone searched for the people who supplied the drugs which contributed to Floyd's death? Of course not, drug dealers are the black communities friends while the police are a threat. Blacks are their own worst enemies.

A manslaughter charge in MN is more along the lines of engaging in reckless behavior. You could be charged with 2nd degree manslaughter if you knowingly take a risk that results in the death of a person.
What “risk?” The causal factor of Floyd’s death wasn’t even established. What we are watching here is a sick parade, on par with the Muslims slicing off the heads of Christians on TV while screaming allahu akhbar slogans, while their chattel cloaked women ululate.
This country is dead. Secession or civil war, please!

Chauvin should be allowed to "commit suicide" the same way they did for Jeffrey Epstein the spy. Sneak him out the back door to begin a new life under a new identity, and wheel out a lookalike body on the gurney.

The judge certainly made questionable rulings in the trail which may lead to appeal but Chauvin brought this on himself by obviously poor judgment which contributed to a man’s death. His next step should be to accept responsibility for his actions and ask that consideration of his past service be taken into account at sentencing.

Would Chauvin be safer in isolation or in the general prison population? He is in isolation for his own safety, and it has nothing to do with a suicide watch. The general prison population would try to kill him.

St Floyd did not die on the street with Chauvin’s knee ON HIS SHOULDER (which is an approved tactic to control someone having a reaction to drugs like Floyd was having). Floyd was sitting in the squad car when he said he couldn’t breath. He was having a heart attack because of the drugs in his system. The cop who called the ambulance was Chauvin. So how did he kill Floyd. He was still alive but barely when that ambulance arrived. .

Fond this on Epoch Times:
Chauvin was allowed to take items like clothing, writing paper, and toothpaste into the unit with him. Personal mail, legal materials, and an address book are also allowed, among other items. Certain reading materials like newspapers may be approved by officers.
