KILLER'S VACATION HOME

Derek Chauvin puts home up for sale for $475k and is NOT set to lose money – despite ‘racist’ being graffitied on porch

PROTESTORS' graffiti of Derek Chauvin's Florida house didn't appear to hurt the property's value.

The disgraced ex-Minneapolis cop, who was convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd, put his vacation home up for sale for $475,000.

A respected Florida realtor said that price was in line with market value for the area and size of the property.

The home was trashed during protests with BLM (Black Lives Matter) symbols, "Racist" and "I can't breathe" scribbled on the walls and doorstep.

Multiple realtor sites report that there's a pending sale for the property, but most of the details are confidential until the sale is finalized.

A Florida realtor, who wished to remain anonymous because he's not involved with the sale, said the buyer would know the previous owner because the name is on the contract.

When asked if an owner's controversial history like Chauvin's would impact sale price, the realtor said it depends on the market.

"I would say in a different market/time there were more challenges involved with something of that nature," the realtor told The Sun.

"The market in Florida these days though, is just too strong for anyone to not take a shot at a home here if they want it."

The property is a three-bedroom, three-bath 1,881-square inch property on Brightland Street in Windermere, which is about 12 miles outside of Orlando.

CHAUVIN SENTENCED

Chauvin pleaded guilty in federal court to violating a federal criminal civil rights law in December and was sentenced to 20 years in prison on July 7.

Chauvin pleaded guilty to willfully depriving Floyd of his constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by a police officer and killed Floyd. 

In the plea documents, Chauvin agreed that the sentencing for this crime should be based on the sentence for second-degree murder because he acted willfully and in callous and wanton disregard of the consequences to Floyd's life, according to federal prosecutors.

“In no uncertain terms, George Floyd should be alive today,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a statement.

“Defendant Chauvin’s use of excessive force and his failure to provide medical care resulted in Mr. Floyd’s senseless murder.

"While no amount of prison time can reverse the tragic consequences of Derek Chauvin’s violent actions, we hope that this sentence provides some small measure of justice for the families and communities impacted.”
