Bad news on Chauvin - he was convicted in State and Federal courts. He could be pardoned on the Federal charges, but not the State charges (would have to come from MN).
He is serving the sentences from the Feds and MN concurrently in a Federal Prison in Texas. It looks like he plead guilty to the DOJ's favorite crime - civil rights violations - in a plea deal. Then the Feds went after his tax returns, and a few other things they tacked on.
He will be in Federal prison until 2038 for both state and federal - part of his plea deal.
