What is second-degree murder?
Mr Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, which means causing death without intent. The maximum sentence is 40 years.
But, unlike some deranged people, i will let facts get in the way of the awful bbc;
Minnesota Second-Degree Murder

Second-degree murder is an intentional killing, but is less serious than first-degree murder because some malicious factors aren’t present.
Oh - so second-degree murder isn't really serious then - even though it's still called murder? That must make it ok. Unfortunately for Chauvin it is also easier to prove - which is why the prosecutors have opted for it.
good lord. unable to distinguish between comparative and absolute? some lawyer you must be.
