Federal trial for three ex-officers charged in George Floyd's killing to begin | Find the latest updates here
From CNN's Eric Levensonon a Minneapolis street in May 2020 are set to stand trial in a federal courtroom today for violating his civil rights.J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao are charged with deprivation of rights under color of law for allegedly failing to give Floyd medical aid on May 25, 2020, the indictment states.
The officers called for medical services but did not render aid to Floyd, who fell unconscious and stopped breathing. He remained in the same position until paramedics arrived and lifted his limp body into an ambulance, and he was declared dead later that night. The video of his final moments sparked widespread protests and fiery unrest in a societal movement against police brutality and racial injustice. Less than two years later, the killing remains particularly difficult for Floyd's family to continue reliving.
"This trial will be another painful experience for the Floyd family, who must once more relive his grueling death in excruciating detail," Floyd family attorneys Ben Crump, Antonio Romanucci and Jeff Storms said in a statement."On behalf of the legal team and the family, we trust and expect that an impartial jury representative of the community will be seated to do this important work.", and that trial is tentatively set for June.
