德里克·肖万的律师正在为这位曾经是已被判刑的周三提交的法庭记录显示，4月谋杀乔治·弗洛伊德一案。

与此同时，检察官请求肖万因在乔治·弗洛伊德之死中表现得“特别残忍”而被判重刑。周三，该州提出一项动议，要求判处30年徒刑。

在周三提交的一份动议中，辩护律师埃里克·尼尔森提出了一项“严格的缓刑”和相当于肖万已经服刑时间的监禁。

“鉴于肖万的零犯罪记录、他的成熟年龄、再次犯罪的低风险，以及他的朋友和家人的支持，肖万特别愿意从轻发落，并敦促本法院批准他的动议，宣布缓刑，服刑一段时间，”纳尔逊在动议中写道。

如果这被拒绝，或者，辩方要求的刑期比明尼苏达州量刑指南建议的刑期短。

根据州法律，肖万将以二级谋杀罪被判刑，因为这是最严重的指控。明尼苏达量刑指南建议肖万可能会被判15年监禁，因为他没有前科。

肖万的判决定于6月25日。

法官彼得·卡希尔(Peter Cahill)此前曾裁定，本案中有几个“加重因素”将支持超过州准则建议范围的判决。

在他们最新的动议中，检察官辩称，由于这些因素，最高刑期将增加一倍，并写道，“本法院认为，被告滥用其信任和权力的地位是“令人震惊的”，被告行为的多个方面是“特别残酷的”他们还指出了肖万行为的“极端性质”，四个孩子目睹了这一点。

“这是特别严重的，例如，当被告滥用权力或特别残忍的见证人是儿童，就像在这种情况下，”动议指出。

检察官还认为，更严厉的判决将“适当考虑被告的行为对受害者、受害者家人和社区的深远影响。”

“他的行为伤害了弗洛伊德先生的家人、目睹弗洛伊德先生死去的旁观者以及社区。他的行为震惊了国家的良心，”他们写道。“任何判决都不能消除被告的行为所造成的损害。但法院的判决必须让被告对其应受谴责的行为承担全部责任。”

陪审团发现肖万有罪的因2020年5月乔治·弗洛伊德在明尼阿波利斯的死亡而被判二级谋杀、三级谋杀和二级过失杀人罪。

上个月，肖万的法律团队提出动议以多种理由要求重新审判，包括陪审团的不当行为。

周三，纳尔逊提交了一份新文件，进一步主张进行新的审判和改变审判地点，声称“累积的错误、滥用酌处权、起诉和陪审团的不当行为剥夺了德里克·肖万的公平审判。”

尼尔森引用了对两位陪审员的采访——丽莎·克里斯滕森和布兰登·米切尔-在有罪判决后做出的。他声称克里斯滕森的采访显示了“给肖万定罪的压力”，米切尔“对进一步的政治和社会原因做出了裁决”克里斯滕森是一名候补陪审员，他在最终判决中没有任何角色。

这份文件包括一张米切尔的照片，上个月在社交媒体上广为流传，照片上米切尔戴着一顶黑人的命也是命帽，穿着一件印有马丁·路德·金照片的衬衫。照片上写着，“把你的膝盖从我们的脖子上拿开”，摄于2020年8月华盛顿特区的一次游行中

“我对一切都发表了我的看法——对这个案子，对黑人的命也是命，”他说。

Chauvin lawyer seeks sentence of time served, probation in murder of George Floyd; prosecutors seek 30 years

Derek Chauvin's attorney is seeking a sentence of time served for the former officer who wasconvictedin April of murdering George Floyd, court records filed Wednesday show.

Meanwhile, prosecutorshave requesteda severe sentence for Chauvin for acting with "particular cruelty" in the death of George Floyd. On Wednesday, the state filed a motion asking for a sentence of 30 years.

In a motion filed Wednesday, defense attorney Eric Nelson proposed a "strict probationary sentence" and prison equal to the time Chauvin has already served.

"In light of Mr. Chauvin's zero criminal history score, his mature age, low risk to re-offend, and the support of his friends and family, Mr. Chauvin is particularly amenable to a mitigated departure and urges this Court to grant his motions and pronounce a probationary sentence with an incarceration period of time served," Nelson wrote in the motion.

If that is declined, alternatively, the defense is asking for a prison sentence shorter than what is recommended by Minnesota sentencing guidelines.

Per state law, Chauvin will be sentenced on second-degree murder because it is the most serious charge. Minnesota sentencing guidelines suggest Chauvin is likely to receive up to 15 years, based on his lack of a prior criminal record.

Chauvin's sentencing has been scheduled for June 25.

Judge Peter Cahill has previously ruled that there were several "aggravating factors" in the case that would support a sentence above the range recommended by state guidelines.

In their latest motion, prosecutors argued for double the maximum sentence due to those factors, writing that "this Court found that Defendant's abuse of his position of trust and authority was 'egregious,' and that multiple aspects of Defendant's conduct were 'particularly cruel.'" They also pointed to the "extreme nature" of Chauvin's conduct, which was witnessed by four children.

"It is especially serious, for example, when a defendant's abuse of authority or particular cruelty is witnessed by children, as it was in this case," the motion stated.

Prosecutors also argued that a more severe sentence would "properly account for the profound impact of Defendant's conduct on the victim, the victim's family, and the community."

"His actions traumatized Mr. Floyd's family, the bystanders who watched Mr. Floyd die, and the community. And his conduct shocked the Nation's conscience," they wrote. "No sentence can undo the damage Defendant's actions have inflicted. But the sentence the Court imposes must hold Defendant fully accountable for his reprehensible conduct."

A jury found Chauvinguiltyof second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in April for the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020.

Last month, Chauvin's legal teamfiled a motionrequesting a new trial on multiple grounds, including jury misconduct.

On Wednesday, Nelson filed a new document further arguing for a new trial and change of venue, claiming that "cumulative errors, abuses of discretion, prosecutorial and jury misconduct deprived Derek Chauvin of a fair trial."

Nelson cited interviews two jurors -- Lisa Christensen andBrandon Mitchell-- gave in the wake of the guilty verdict. He alleged Christensen's interviews showed a "pressure to convict" Chauvin, and that Mitchell "came to a verdict to further political and social causes." Christensen was an alternate juror who did not have a role in the final verdict.

The document included a photograph of Mitchell that was widely circulated on social media last month showing him wearing a Black Lives Matter hat and a shirt with a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. that says, "get your knee off our necks," at an August 2020 march in Washington, D.C.

Mitchelldefendedhis impartiality as a juror after the photo's circulation. He told theStar Tribunethat he was "extremely honest" during the jury selection process.

"I gave my views on everything -- on the case, on Black Lives Matter," he said.
