Chauvin may try to appeal. Given how the right wing has taken up his case as a crack/leak in the dam which must be plugged, it is likely to be a well-resourced effort.

While the MN state supreme court has a favorable makeup (based on who appointed them), why tempt fate by giving the defense anything -- no matter how innocuous -- to start working with?
