The complaint alleges that while incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution Tucson, John Turscak, 52, stabbed Chauvin about 22 times “with an improvised knife,” prosecutors said.
Turscak was charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault resulting in serious bodily injury, according to prosecutors.
The investigation in the case was conducted by the FBI.
Attempted murder and assault with intent to commit murder violations each carry maximum penalties of 20 years incarceration, while assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury each carry maximum penalties of 10 years.
Chauvin was expected to survive following the attack last week in a prison in Arizona, the Minnesota Attorney General’s office said earlier.
Thank you for saying it.
Justice isn’t getting stabbed in prison 22 times. The same way Justice is kneeling on the neck of a non-violent offender until he is dead.
Exactly.
True justice would be to ensure he never re-offends, pays his dues to society and the family, and ideally comes out of prison a better person that actively benefits society as a rehabilitated offender.
But our current justice system doesn’t do that, either.
