The Derek Chauvin trial was a case that set off one of the largest civil rights movements in the United States in decades.
The former Minneapolis police officer, who was found guilty of murdering George Floyd, was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. It’s one of the longest sentences a former police officer has ever received, although prosecutors and the Floyd family wanted the maximum. Chauvin could be paroled with good behavior after serving only 15 years. Phillip Atiba Goff, the CEO and co-founder of the Center for Policing Equity and a professor at Yale University, joins Nayyera Haq to discuss the sentencing, Chauvin’s pending federal case and the changing culture of policing.
