Prosecutors in the trial of 3 former Minneapolis police officers accused the men of standing by as Derek Chauvin 'slowly killed George Floyd.'
MINNEAPOLIS -- Prosecutors in the trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating George Floyd's civil rights accused the men Monday of standing by as fellow Officer Derek Chauvin"slowly killed George Floyd right in front of them."
"For second after second, minute after minute, these three CPR-trained defendants stood or knelt next to officer Chauvin as he slowly killed George Floyd right in front of them," prosecutor Samantha Trepel told jurors during opening statements."They chose not to protect George Floyd, the man they had handcuffed and placed in their custody."
Attorneys for both Kueng and Thao noted that prosecutors must prove Kueng, Lane and Thao willfully violated Floyd's constitutional rights. Lane asked if they should roll Floyd onto his side - something all of the officers were trained to do - but Kueng shot down Lane's question and said,"No, just leave him," and Chauvin agreed, Trepel said.
