In Minnesota, three former Minneapolis police officers charged with federal civil rights violations in George Floyd’s murder will go on trial on January 20. Officers Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao stood by and watched as Derek Chauvin murdered Floyd, pressing his knee into Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes. The three face charges of aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter in a separate trial set to begin in a Hennepin County court in March.
