Three more officers have been charged in George Floyd’s death. The charge against Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck, has been upgraded to 2nd-degree murder.
Ellison was expected to talk about the new charges on Wednesday afternoon.
Attorney Ben Crump tweeted that the Floyd family was “deeply gratified” by Ellison’s action and called it “a source of peace for George’s family in this difficult time.” He said Ellison had told the family his office will continue to investigate and upgrade charges against Chauvin to first-degree murder if warranted.
Crump said the other officers failed to protect a man who was pleading for help and said he couldn’t breathe. Lane, 37, and Kueng both joined the department in February 2019 and neither have any complaints on their files.
