Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill revoked Chauvin s bail and told him to report back in eight weeks for sentencing.
Chauvin faces 12 1/2 years, or 150 months, in prison under sentencing guidelines for a first-time offender. But the prosecution argues there are aggravating factors that require a longer prison term. That means Chauvin may face longer than that sentence.
Mitchell declined to give his view on an appropriate sentence for Chauvin. I think we came with the right verdict, and I ll let the judge do what he does, he said.
Mitchell said the prosecution s expert pulmonologist, Dr. Martin Tobin, was the biggest, most influential witness of everybody. Tobin spoke directly to jurors for hours in a professorial tone, prompting them to gesture along with his testimony as he explained how people breathe. Mitchell also noted the exhibits that he came with, referencing various charts and images Tobin presented to jurors.

Derek Chauvin is scheduled for sentencing on June 16 for the murder of George Floyd late last spring, while juror identities will remain secret for six more months, a judge ordered Friday.
The fired Minneapolis police officer was convicted Tuesday of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-manslaughter in connection with Floyd s death as he was pinned to the pavement under Chauvin s knee for more than nine minutes on May 25 at 38th and Chicago. Sentencing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in Hennepin County District Court.
Also Friday, Judge Peter Cahill ordered that the jurors identities remained under seal for at least six more months, along with the list of prospective jurors, juror questionnaires and the unredacted verdict forms containing the foreperson s signature.
