Chauvin sentencing hearing will be in eight weeks.
The maximum sentence for second-degree murder is 40 years in prison, but Minnesota sentencing guidelines suggest he's more likely to receive up to 15 years.

However, the state is permitted to ask for the full 40 years.
"I expect the prosecution to ask for more time" than the 15 years, ABC News Legal Analyst Dan Abrams said.
Upon being found guilty on all charges, prosecutors asked that Chauvin's bail be revoked, which was granted by the judge.
The former officer was escorted from the courtroom when proceedings concluded.
The jury has found former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder in the death of George Floyd.
Chauvin was also found guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Nelson used a baking analogy to explain what is necessary to find a defendant in a criminal trial guilty.
"I say that the criminal case is kind of like baking chocolate chip cookies," Nelson said. "You have to have the necessary ingredients. You got to have flour, and sugar and butter and chocolate chips, and whatever else goes into those chocolate chip cookies. If you have all of the ingredients, you can make chocolate chip cookies. But if you're missing any one single ingredient, you can't make chocolate chip cookies. It's a simple kind of analogy. But the criminal law works the same way."

Chauvin removed his face mask as he watched Nelson’s closing argument.
