Judge Peter Cahill denied the defense’s motion to admit at trial evidence relating to Floyd’s 2019 arrest and his subsequent admission to the Hennepin County Medical Center as well as his 2007 conviction for aggravated robbery in Texas.
A Hennepin County District Court judge has granted a motion to join the cases of the four former Minneapolis police officers charged in the death of George Floyd into one case.
