Not over yet, he has good grounds for an appeal.

If he gets a new trial, I wonder if he will testify in his own defense this time

From what I read on Wikipedia, his attorney did not present a good case

Why?  He could answer the questions people have about his actions

From his own attorney, but the prosecution would then question him for hours looking for that "gotcha" answer. He will get a new trial but the results will be the same unless it is moved out of state and the jury is sequestered. Even then, might be too late for that. Judge really screwed up the first time with that one.

It is never advisable to take the stand in your own defense.  Once the prosecution takes the floor to cross examine you, they can ask any and all kinds of questions to trip you up.  They can also grill you for hours to get you to confess to something you may not have done.

The trial for the Oklahoma City Bomber, Timothy McVeigh was moved to Denver because of the local media coverage. That was the right thing to do and it should've been what the Chauvin Judge did. Can't have Jurors commuting every day to court amidst protests while politicians are screaming for blood. Whether you think he was guilty or not, it was a terrible decision to keep it local and unsequestered.

That was a federal trial. The state of MN cannot simply move the trial to another state.

Sure he does. Let's see, first you have a fruitcake activist committing perjury in order to be on the jury to "push for change". Then you have Waters and Biden fanning the flames of more burning, looting, and riots if they don't get the "correct" verdict. Then you have the incompetent judge not relocating the trial or sequestering the jury. And finally, you have the defendant convicted of two murder charges.

So even though I think he's guilty of a crime. I also feel that he didn't get a fair trial. I guess it will all come down to, does the threat and political pressure of more burning, looting, and riots take precedence over someone's right to a fair and impartial trial?

No lawyer of any competence would agree to it.
