Fellow inmate John Turscak has been charged with attempted murder following the attack on 24 November, which was Black Friday.

...

Turscak has also been charged with three counts of assault and could face an additional 60 years behind bars if convicted. He had been due to complete his current sentence by 2026.

He had led a faction of the Mexican Mafia in Los Angeles during the late 1990s, and went by the nickname "Stranger".

The former gang member later became an FBI informant and recorded conversations with his associates in the hope of receiving a lighter sentence.

This murder charge is complete bullshit: Chauvin was a cop inside a jail. He would have been killed anyway, even if Turscak didn't stab him 22 times.

His stomach was full of prison food: high in fat, salt, sugar, and carbohydrates and little-to-no fresh fruits or vegetables.

Chauvin attempted to kill Chauvin, not Turscak.
