Dersh is now arguing that Chauvin, a convicted murderer, should be released on bail pending the conclusion of his appeals.

Fox News has such utter contempt for their audience. Nobody thinks this is good legal analysis, but they send it out to the unwashed rubes tuning in anyway.

My opinion is, if you've already been convicted then you shouldn't get bail. Had this been a mistrial and he was rearrested, maybe it would be worth considering. Once you've been found guilty though, your ass stays in jail.
 
An alternate juror says she feared some violence, but it would not have changed her guilty vote. Other links on the internet play up her fear of violence.

Christensen lives in Brooklyn Center, the city where Daunte Wright was shot by a police officer nearly two weeks ago. She said those protests did not play into her decision about Chauvin being guilty. Wright will be laid to rest Thursday and the Floyd family will be in attendance.

I hope this might help put to rest claims that the jury was too chicken-**** come to a proper verdict without undue outside influences.

Yeah I agree.

Pre-trial confinement is (arguably, in some cases, etc, etc) problematic, especially over long time frames, but... I mean he's guilty. What's the issue here exactly? Why would he go anywhere else but back to jail while waiting for his permanent prison housing to be set up?

I mean what's even the reason they are pretending to put forth?

A juror who cast one of the unanimous votes to convict a White former Minneapolis police officer of killing George Floyd said deliberations were primarily spent trying to convince one person who was uncertain about part of the jury instructions.

Brandon Mitchell is the first juror that deliberated in Derek Chauvin’s trial to talk publicly about his experience.

Mitchell told "Good Morning America" that he didn’t think the jury was affected by tensions in Minneapolis or concerns about what effect their verdicts would have. Floyd’s death triggered worldwide protests, violence at times and a furious reexamination of racism and policing in the U.S.

So, would Dershowitz still try to convince this man that he was being intimidated?
