Now, the 12 members of the jury are sequestered as they deliberate a verdict.
If convicted of the most serious charge, Chauvin likely 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 a sentence longer than outlined in the guidelines.
The jury may convict Chauvin on any, all, or none of the charges.
