The lesser-known incident, said the Department of Justice, occurred in 2017, when Chauvin allegedly held a 14-year-old boy \u201cby the throat\u201d and struck him in the head with a flashlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the plea agreement, defendant Chauvin also admitted that he held his knee on the juvenile\u2019s neck, shoulders and upper back for between 15 and 16 minutes, even though the juvenile was face-down on the floor, handcuffed and not resisting. Defendant Chauvin admitted that these actions resulted in the juvenile\u2019s bodily injury,\u201d the DOJ said in December.<\/p>\n<p>During sentencing on Thursday, Chauvin addressed the family of Floyd, and said he wished them well. Philonise Floyd, George Floyd\u2019s brother, asked the court to give Chauvin the maximum sentence of 25 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/us\/live-news\/derek-chauvin-federal-sentencing-07-07-22\/index.html\">reports<\/a> CNN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother was murdered in broad daylight with a knee to his neck for nine minutes,\u201d said Philonise Floyd.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing story; refresh the page for updates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 20 years in prison on federal civil rights charges Thursday in the killing of George Floyd in 2020 and for allegations of unreasonable force against a teen several years prior.\u00a0 Chauvin pleaded guilty to the civil rights violations last year, after he was sentenced to 22 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":282,"featured_media":1547035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1543306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1543306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/282"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1543306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1543306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1547035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1543306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1543306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1543306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
