(Minneapolis, MN) — The Minnesota trial for three police officers charged in the death of George Floyd is going to be delayed until next year.
That step has been taken so former officers J-Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao can face federal civil rights charges in court first. Those federal charges offer the potential for stronger sentences – including the possibility of life in prison.
The postponement of the state trial could be formalized today (Thursday) when the officers are scheduled to make a court appearance.
