I think there was also a comment that Chauvin offered to take a 10 year sentence (don't know which charge). I hadn't heard that. But as Barnes says, he is going to jail either for this or for the tax evasion.
If the feds filed charges, he's going to jail for something, either in Minnesota if he gets convicted in this trial, or one of the federal institutes for the tax evasion. All this seems to indicate that whatever the outcome of this trial, Chauvin is no clean cut, honest cop who got screwed over. I hope for justice here, but I do find it hard to feel sorry for Chauvin.
