New York Times says Chauvin's sentencing date is June 16th.

[Towlie]

Derek Chauvin is being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day.

Mr. Chauvin, who is being held as he waits to be sentenced, will be alone in his cell for all but one hour each day, during which he is allowed to exercise. Even then, he will be kept away from all other prisoners and remain under the watch of prison guards inside the unit.

The court on Wednesday set June 16 as the date for Mr. Chauvin’s sentencing, according to a source familiar with the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly.

4. There are other items that need to be addressed first.

I don't remember the exact specifics, but after the verdict was read, the judge provided a list of items and related dates that needed to be done before sentencing, which was set for eight weeks. Reports on mitigating factors, etc.

6. I am not certain, but don't they have to do a presentencing investigation?

Looking for things cause his sentence to be longer or shorter. Like maybe all these previous complaints lodged against him?

7. Each side provides arguments in writing.

They're referred to as Blakeley arguments, referencing Blakely v. Washington.

Those are due one week from the verdict and the judge's responses another week out.

8. I wonder if the sentence will add on to the 1,288 hours of solitary confinement he's getting now.
