Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd, is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday when he could face decades in prison.
Prosecutors are calling for a 30-year sentence, saying the former officer "brutally murdered Mr. Floyd, abusing the authority conferred by his badge." For someone with no criminal history, Minnesota sentencing guidelines suggest a range of just over 10 and a half years to 15 years in prison. Meanwhile, Chauvin's defense team is requesting probation or a shorter prison term, citing his lack of criminal history and previous work.On Nov. 13, 2016, Dr. Eric "Scott" Sills, a renowned California fertility doctor, called 911 and reported finding his wife and business partner Susann Sills unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. An initial investigation revealed some evidence that was consistent with an accidental fall. But as "48 Hours" correspondent Tracy Smith reports, other evidence pointed to something more sinister. DETECTIVE: How do you know she — she got an email? MARY-KATHERINE SILLS: I woke up and my dad was just like on the covers just laying there like there wasn't enough room to get in I guess. So, he was just laying there.
