3 Officers Will Go to Trial Over George Floyd’s Death
Three former Minneapolis police officers will go on trial on Jan. 20 after they were charged with federal civil rights violations in connection to the murder of George Floyd.
The date was previously noted in court records in November, but it was confirmed for the first time on Thursday in a docket filing, according to The Associated Press.
The ex-officers — Tou Thao, J. Kueng and Thomas Lane — will stand trial in St. Paul later this month before facing separate state charges for aiding and abetting in Floyd’s death, the AP reported.
