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.
Yup. A disposable razor blade melted into a toothbrush might give you a 1/2" blade. Unless they hit an artery it’s unlikely you’d die.
That said it would still suck to be stabbed/sliced 22 times, then have to consider heading back to gen pop in week or so.
Almost as unfortunate as being an innocent man shoved to the ground and having the life literally squeezed from you.
Yes.
