The Minnesota Court of Appeals cleared the way for three former police officers involved in the death of George Floyd, to be charged with aiding and abetting third-degree murder.
This week the court reversed a previous order that had denied prosecutors from charging former officers J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao with third-degree murder. The former officers had originally been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder as well as second-degree manslaughter, but were never charged with murder in the third degree.
