Chauvin's 22.5 year sentence is well supported and unlikely to be reduced on appeal. The mystery is his reference to some new development that will bring solace to the family...
...I cannot imagine what would bring closure for the family beyond a waiver of appeal or pleading guilty to the federal charges. Otherwise, any new evidence would be used presumably to undermine his conviction (which would hardly be welcomed by the family)...
...When he referred to ongoing legal matters, it made me think that there might be negotiations on pending charges. He might plead to a federal charges with a recommended sentence while continuing his appeal of the state charges.
...I cannot think of anything other than a plea on the federal charges that would "bring closure" for the family.
