Three former Minneapolis police officers charged with the murder of George Floyd have rejected a plea deal offered by prosecutors.
Former officers Tou Thao, Thomas Lane, and J. Alexander Kueng face state charges of aiding and abetting Floyd’s murder.Derek Chauvin, the officer who kneeled on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, accepted a federal plea deal in January after state prosecutors won a murder conviction against him last year.
While details of the plea offer were not disclosed, prosecutor Matthew Frank told the court that each officer was extended the same deal. However, each rejected the offer, Frank said. The judge, in that case, has yet to set a sentencing date. Each of the officers remains free on bail pending sentencing. The officers face life in prison following their conviction.
