This is only the second known murder conviction for a Minnesota police officer accused of killing a civilian. In 2017, Somali American officer Mohamed Noor was convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of a white woman, Justine Rusczcyk Damond. A jury has never found a white officer guilty of murdering a civilian in Minnesota.
The maximum sentence Chauvin could face if convicted is 40 years for second-degree murder, 25 years for third-degree murder and 10 years for second-degree manslaughter.
