// Deskdiary, // The nature of Floyd’s death was horrific, but I’m uneasy with the conviction, simply because I struggle to believe Chauvin meant to kill him. //

As I pointed out, I believe that if the judge had believed that the murder was intentinal, he would have awarded the maximum sentence of forty years.
The fact that he handed down just over half that demonstrates, in my view, that he did not believe that death was the intended outcome of the action.
