Lawsuit: Virginia police officers threatened man during stop

[CarolinaBengalFanGuy]

Well this isn't related to this incident, but I didn't want to start a new thread on it since the old one was closed.

But for the Chauvin trial, is there any credence to an appeal on the grounds that the decision of the jury couldn't be made fairly due to the large amount of eyes and potential danger from an verdict besides guilty?

And also do appeal trials go by jury as well?
