FLOYD’S KILLER COP zMARKED FOR DEATH!
Experts warn rogue lawman won’t leave prison alive
THE killer cop found guilty of cruelly murdering George Floyd by putting a knee on the cuffed and helpless man’s neck will get his real justice behind bars, where experts believe he’s already been marked for death by other convicts!
Rogue lawman Derek Chauvin, 45, could rot behind bars for up to 40 years — or as little as 12 — when he’s sentenced next month after being convicted of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter by a Minneapolis jury on April 20.
While the disgraced copper could die of sickness or old age if he gets decades behind bars, prison experts believe his days are numbered for the brutal killing of a Black man — unless he’s given special protection.
He has a bull’s-eye on his back, with fellow prisoners chomping at the bit for the honor of icing him for good, experts say.
“They will have to transfer him out of Minnesota, that’s for sure,” says a prison

“Wherever he goes they won’t be able to hold him in general population — he wouldn’t last five minutes.
“He’ll have to go into solitary or a special wing so he’ll probably get slung with the sex predators.
“His only hope will be to side with the white supremacists and pay them protection money.
“But even they might end up selling him out — because he has a lot of value to their enemies.”
Floyd’s killing triggered often-violent demonstrations around the country last summer after a heartwrenching nine-minute, 39-second cellphone video, taken by a passerby, was played repeatedly on TV and social media.
The clip caught Chauvin cruelly kneeling on Floyd’s neck while the dying man pleaded he couldn’t breathe and begged for his mama.
Jurors were also shaken viewing the video in court. At the trial, Chauvin’s lawyers unsuccessfully argued Floyd died due to drug use, a heart ailment and, possibly, carbon monoxide from the exhaust pipe of the running police vehicle next to where he was pinned to the ground. The defense team also suggested the crowd that watched the arrest distracted Chauvin, who was employing a restraint tactic he was trained to use.
But prosecutors said the killer cop “betrayed his badge” and caused Floyd’s death by asphyxiation, kneeling on him even after he had been found to have no pulse.
Following the reading of the guilty-on-all-counts verdict, the judge revoked Chauvin’s bail and ordered the bailiff to immediately take him to the slammer.
The former police officer
is expected to be held at the Ramsey County Adult Detention Center in St. Paul, the same place he was originally held after his arrest over Floyd’s death until he was released on bond last fall.
Meanwhile, sources say Chauvin is expected to appeal against his conviction and possibly ask for a mistrial arguing that politicians weighing in before the verdict affected his chance of getting a fair trial.
Now, in or out of jail, Chauvin will be a marked man until his death, sources say.
“With a crime as racially motivated as his, he’s got a lifetime cross on his back,” says a source.
