Drug Crimes
A Minnesota drug crime charge involves any allegation of possessing, manufacturing, and trafficking, buying, selling or distributing an illegal controlled substance. Drug crimes can involve illegal drugs like cocaine, marijuana, and heroin, but they can also involve prescription drugs that are not prescribed to the user and simulated drugs.
Assault
Typically, domestic assault is a gross misdemeanor that can be sentenced by not less than 20 days and not more than one year in jail and a fine not more than $3,000. However, if a person has two or more prior domestic violence related offense convictions, the crime is increased to a felony. In this case, the penalty is a minimum of 45 days in jail (15 of which must be served consecutively) and up to 5 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
Murder
“Kueng held Mr. Floyd’s back and Lane held his legs….Lane asked,“should we roll him on his side?” and the defendant said, “No, staying put where we got him.” Officer Lane said, “I am worried about excited delirium or whatever.”…Lane said, “want to roll him on his side.” Kueng checked Mr. Floyd’s right wrist for a pulse and said, “I couldn’t find one.” None of the officers moved from their positions.” it doesn’t mention that Tou Thoa guarded the operation, blocking bystanders from attacking Chauvin as Mr. Floyd was choked to death. Please not that our AG Keith Ellinson has now appropriately added 2nd Degree Unintentional Murder to the charges, no complaint filed yet. I predict that some or all of these officers will either be charged with Liability for Crime of a Co-Conspirator or Liability for Crimes of Another (Aiding ). Lane’s defense will be that he had no intent or that he abandoned the purpose and made a reasonable effort to prevent the crime before the crime was committed, since he did suggest to roll him on his side (The jury will be instructed that if they buy this fact as a reasonable effort then he’s not guilty). Below are the standard jury instructions for those crimes and Lane’s defense, which carry the same guideline sentences as the underlying Chauvin charges of 2nd Degree Murder (150 months), 3rd Degree Murder (150 months), and 2nd Degree Manslaughter (48 months) and can be convicted even if Chauvin is acquitted.
