Well, on Chauvin, they're at least concurrent sentences.
That's not what happened to Chauvin. He was charged and convicted of both 2nd degree murder and manslaughter. Murder implies intent to kill. Manslaughter implies there is NO intent to kill. They both can't be true at the same time.
Yes. I'm am describing how he is serving the sentence for both convictions at the same time, not one after the other. This does not contradict the fact that the elements of manslaughter and Murder 2 are mutually exclusive; that fact just points out that juries are stupid and politically motivated.
Except in your previous comment you said:

Am I misconstruing what you're trying to argue?
