My thought from the day of the incident has been that the former officer who put away George Floyd will probably be convicted of some variant of homicide, and do some serious time in the pokey. Of course, nothing is ever completely certain. Nothing, that is, except for death and taxes.
It would seem that some enterprising investigators may have remembered the lesson of Al Capone, to wit, when you really want to put someone away for life plus cancer, send in the tax auditors. They did. Now, Chauvin and the Mrs. (who seemly waited overlong to dump him) are looking at enough felony tax charges to stack on another four and a half decades of state time. Notably, a key feature of tax cases is their document-intensive nature. If the documents show the income existed, and the returns don't show that it was reported for taxation, the defendant is pretty much at the end of the road at that point.
As Al Capone himself cogently demonstrated, if you're going to engage in conduct that pisses off the government, you really need to have paid your taxes.
