To be honest I haven't been following this trial but there's no way that he should get away with it. If you're wondering, Chauvin yesterday was found guilty of all three counts. The three counts were second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Good and I'm pleased about that. Let's hope that he gets life in prison then. He actually can't get life. The maximum sentence on 2nd degree murder (which is the most serious charge he was found guilty of) is 40 years but the Minnesota standard, which is where the judge is supposed to start for someone who has no prior record and no aggravating circumstances, is 12 1/2 years. The prosecution will argue there are aggravating circumstances, which can include things like cruelty and abuse of authority, that should double the standard. Obviously, the defense will argue for the lightest possible sentence at the sentencing hearing (in addition to filing an appeal). Chauvin is allowed to make a statement at the hearing if he so chooses.

I like the global minimum corporation tax idea.

It's like here in the UK some of these sentences are just not long enough but I do think that when someone is sentenced to life in prison it should mean life and not just so many years.
