Convicted ex-officer Derek Chauvin may face a longer sentence after a Minnesota judge ruled there were aggravating factors involved in the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody.
Judge Peter Cahill ruled that Chauvin, 45, abused his authority as a police officer when he restrained Floyd by kneeling on his neck for over eight minutes, according to an order made public Wednesday.
