3 Ex-Minneapolis Cops Found Guilty in George Floyd Civil Rights Case

A jury of their peers found the former police officers guilty of all charges in their federal case.

After less than 2 full days of deliberations, a 12-person panel found the three men guilty.

The ex-cops were found guilty of all the charges against them, including deprivation of rights under color of the law for failing to render medical aid to Floyd.

You might recall. Lane asked if they should roll Floyd over, but Chauvin told him not to.

Chauvin was convicted of murder last year and has since pleaded guilty to federal charges. Thao, Kueng and Lane will have a state criminal trial later this year.

For this case. Thao, Kueng, and Lane argued that they didn't intend for Floyd to die under the circumstances.

Kueng and Lane were just days into their jobs when the incident occurred, so they tried to explain their behavior by pointing out how new they were to the Minneapolis police force.

You will recall. Floyd was held down by Chauvin, Lane and Kueng. Thao was in charge of the crowd.

The men are facing the possibility of several years or even life in prison. The death penalty is technically possible, but prosecutors have not indicated they will seek it.

The story is developing.
