Laughter: A Trauma Response
Thursday, 15 July, 2021
Trauma Experts Disagree with Judge’s Decision on Trauma of Children. During the sentencing hearing for Derek Chauvin, Judge Cahill informed the public that he would publish a 26 page document following the June 25 hearing to explain how he reached his decision of sentencing Chauvin to 22 1/2 years in prison. While many people, including the George Floyd family, did not feel Chauvin’s sentence was long enough sentence Attorney General Keith Ellison did not object to the Judge’s decision. This week Cahill denied Ellison's request. Trauma experts Resmaa Menakem & Dr. Gabor Mate help us understand why Ellison was pushing to make this change.
