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.

    Yeah, he’s going to survive through a very painful recovery from twenty-two stab wounds.

    And then he’ll be put back in prison. With the other prisoners again.

      only reason I don’t want him to get stabbed again is because I don’t want anyone else’s life to get ruined by this shit cop. or, more ruined… I guess. I dunno. They’re in prison, so, you know.

        I want him to fully experience every day that he was sentenced to live in prison. Death would be an early release.
