The trial for the three former Minneapolis cops charged for their roles in the death of George Floyd has been pushed back until next March. The judge in the case cited a desire to let a federal civil rights case against the three former officers as well as Derek Chauvin, convicted in Floyd’s murder, proceed first. The justice also noted he wanted to put some distance between the officers’ and Chauvin’s, which sparked national news coverage.
The trial of three former Minneapolis cops charged in George Floyd’s murder last spring has been postponed until next year so the trio can focus on a newly filed federal indictment accusing them of violating the Black man’s civil rights.https://t.co/8WKhZXunhW
