Aye good shout. In this case the length of time could also be between deciding manslaughter, 3rd degree or 1st degree.
The Jury do not have to decide any aggravating factors in this case, the defendent has opted for the Judge to make that decision, not the Jury. Therefore if found guilty, the judge decides the sentence, from anywhere between 12 years to 40 years in prison. Not quite sure how that works, I just remember it being part of the summing up process and one of the decisions Chauvin had to make.
Could be already decided, I doubt they'll release the verdict until the morning, it's easier controlling a riot during the day than it is in the evening or night.
Is there any of you that wants him to be not guilty so that we can watch some rioty bantz? Naaah me neither
