Derek Chauvin jailed for 270 months over George Floyd’s murder<\/h3>\n

Derek Chauvin has been brutally stabbed in prison by another inmate on Friday.<\/p>\n

The former Minneapolis police officer was convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd<\/p>\n

The stabbing, which took place at around 12.30pm yesterday at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, Arizona, left Chauvin with serious injuries, according to a law enforcement officials familiar with the incident.<\/p>\n

Chauvin’s murder of Floyd sparked nationwide Black Lives Matter protests across the world in the summer of 2020.<\/p>\n

The US Bureau of Prisons said employees at the prison contained the incident and performed “life-saving measures” on an inmate.<\/p>\n

According to the agency, the inmate was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old was sentenced to a 21-year federal sentence for federal civil rights charges and a 22.5-year sentence for the state-level charge of second-degree murder – the prison time is being served simultaneously.<\/p>\n

He was sent to FCI Tucson from a maximum-security Minnesota state prison in August 2022<\/p>\n

Chauvin\u2019s lawyer, Eric Nelson, warned last year that his client should be kept away from other prisoners amid fears for his safety.<\/p>\n

This comes as Chauvin is currently trying to overturn his federal civil rights conviction.<\/p>\n

Earlier in November, the former police officer said he wouldn’t have pleaded guilty in 2021 if he was aware of the theories of a pathologist from Kansas about the case.<\/p>\n

The incident marks the second incident at the prison in around a year. In November 2022, an inmate at the prison’s low-security camp attempted to shoot a visitor in the head, but the weapon was misfired.<\/p>\n

The incident comes as Chauvin is trying to make another attempt to overturn the federal civil rights conviction.<\/p>\n
