"Likewise the judge will have to look like he is thinking hard to pick the maximum sentence already decided."
As per the article below I found with 30 seconds of google quoting a retired judge in MN-should a guilty verdict be rendered by the jury, the sentencing comes after a pre sentence investigation has been completed. In other words some weeks in the future, post a verdict of guilt if reached.
I confess, I did not perform any indep legal research to confirm. The timing of sentencing as per the article does comport with that of the federal system and many states.

Judge in Derek Chauvin trial says Rep. Maxine Waters' comments may be grounds for appeal
Quote from the article:
"I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned," Judge Peter Cahill told defense attorney Eric Nelson on Monday."
Yes, I know. I don't know why they drag it out with sentencing investigations and hearings but it won't affect the end result.
