The indictment stated that “the defendants saw George Floyd lying on the ground in clear need of medical care, and willfully failed to aid Floyd, thereby acting with deliberate indifference to a substantial risk of harm to Floyd.” Chauvin was also indicted in a second case related to a 2017 arrest and neck restraint of a 14-year-old boy.
In December, he pleaded guilty to the charge of violating Floyd’s right to be free from unreasonable seizure and unreasonable force by a police officer in December. The former police officer reportedly reached a plea deal with the government, resulting in a 25 year sentence to be served concurrently with his sentence for murder.
