MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The trial for the three former Minneapolis police officers charged in the death of George Floyd is being postponed until March 2022 to allow the federal case against the ex-officers to proceed first, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill ruled Thursday.
Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng are all charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
Their trial was originally scheduled to begin on Aug. 23. At a pre-trial motions hearing for Thao, Kueng and Lane on Thursday, Cahill set a new trial date.
