Judge accepts Derek Chauvin's plea deal, will sentence him to 20-25 years

• Chauvin faced up to life in prison on the federal count, but prosecutors said they would seek 25 years after he signed the plea deal.
• Credit for good time in the federal system could make him eligible for release after 17 years to 21 years and three months in prison, per the Star Tribune.
• He would serve the federal sentence concurrently with his 22.5-year sentence for his murder conviction in Minnesota court, though he is attempting to appeal the latter.

Worth noting: "The federal plea deal means Chauvin will probably spend more time in prison than he faced under his state sentence. State prisoners in Minnesota typically serve one-third of their sentence on parole, which for him would mean 15 years in prison," the Star Tribune writes.

The big picture: The three other former officers who were on the scene when Floyd died were also convicted of related federal civil rights charges in February.

What's next: U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson will set a sentencing date for Chauvin, who has waived the right to contest his federal conviction with the plea deal.
