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.

After Nelson asked whether Chauvin’s actions were an authorized use of force by a police officer, he went into detail on how a reasonable police officer would have approached the situation.

A reasonable police officer wants to keep his fellow officers, civilians and the person being arrested safe, Nelson said. A reasonable police officer also thinks about resources, such as where the closest hospital is or what the response time for EMS would be.

The direct knowledge that a police officer would have when use of force occurs is information from dispatch, direct observations of the scene and whether the subject was under the influence of a controlled substance, Nelson said.

When Chauvin arrived on the scene of the cup foods, he saw the suspect, who was 6 feet or taller and appeared to be under the influence, Nelson said.

"The situation is dynamic, and it's fluid," Nelson said.
