EXCLUSIVE: Derek Chauvin had 'fear in his eyes' as he was sentenced to prison, showed a 'loss of pride' when addressing George Floyd's family, and 'felt shame' as his own mom spoke to the court, body language expert says

 Derek Chauvin was thrust into the spotlight again on Friday as he returned to a Minnesota court to be sentenced for the death of George Floyd. 

The former cop, 45, appeared unresponsive as a judge ordered him to spend 22-and-a-half years behind bars after he was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder back in April. 

But while Chauvin has garnered a reputation for appearing both passive and reserved in court, body language expert Patti Wood says both his facial expressions and his posture indicate he is experiencing a range of intense emotions. 

Wood provided her expert analysis on Chauvin's behavior to DailyMail.com, claiming the convicted killer showed 'fear in his eyes' as his sentence was handed down. 

She additionally stated that Chauvin's slumped shoulders indicated a 'loss of pride' and that it looked as if he 'felt shame' when his own mom, Carolyn Pawlenty, addressed the court.
