Jurors deliberated seven hours Wednesday
Acting U.S. Attorney Charles Kovats spoke with the prosecution team behind him after former Minneapolis police officers J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao were found guilty of violating George Floyd's civil rights by failing to stop a fellow officer from using the excessive force that caused his death on May 25, 2020.
Three former Minneapolis police officers were convicted by a federal jury Thursday of depriving George Floyd of his constitutional rights by failing to stop a fellow officer from using the excessive force that killed him on the street outside Cup Foods nearly two years ago.
J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao were found guilty on all counts. They showed little reaction as the judge read the verdicts, with Lane slightly shaking his head and shrugging as he looked at his attorney.
Assistant U.S. Attorney LeeAnn Bell, the lead prosecutor on the case, spoke at a courthouse news conference afterward, thanking the jurors for their attentiveness during a long and difficult trial in St. Paul.
