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?

The defense tried to get the trial moved to a different county.  The judge denied it on the grounds that due to the publicity, everywhere would be the same.  It follows that there is no where that the jurors would be under any less pressure or fear than the original trial, so unless the jurors come out and say they were afraid for there lives if they didnt convict, then there wont be grounds for appeal in regard to jury prejudice.
