19. I also seem to recall serving his time in federal prison to be part of his plea deal

If my memory serves, after he was convicted on the state charges, he agreed to plea guilty to the federal charges on the condition that he serve both sentences concurrently in a federal prison. Minnesota agreed to that deal.

Chauvin would probably decline a federal pardon if it meant him going to a state prison.

There must be some state charges Chauvin was found guilty of. brush May 2025 #3

Yes, he was convicted on both state and federal charges. He's expected to be released from state custody in 2035. WhiskeyGrinder May 2025 #4

Thanks, so why do trump and his handlers think he can spring Chauvin from prison... brush May 2025 #6

I don't think there's been any indication about that's what they think. The point is chaos and red meat for the base. WhiskeyGrinder May 2025 #8

Probably, but Trump's DOJ IS interferring with Tina Peter's 9 year STATE sentence in CO for election interference. hlthe2b May 2025 #12

You can get parole on a state sentence. There is no parole on federal sentences. PSPS May 2025 #17

NO way... Unless they turn over the MN courts, Governor, and state legislature to R's. hlthe2b May 2025 #18

There's no parole or good time credit in Minnesota GregariousGroundhog May 2025 #20

It varies from state to state but parole is never an option on a federal conviction. PSPS May 2025 #21

Of course he will. Leave no criminal in jail. travelingthrulife May 2025 #11

If he does do this, the purpose is to incite violence, imo. Oneironaut May 2025 #13
