Jury set to get case of 3 ex-cops charged with violating George Floyd's civil rights
Prosecutors and defense attorneys spent a full day Tuesday in closing arguments that recapped a month of testimony and sought to sway the jury toward their view.
Defense attorneys countered that the officers were too inexperienced, weren't trained properly and did not willfully violate Floyd's rights. Kueng, Lane and Thao are charged with depriving Floyd of his right to medical care when Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck. Kueng and Thao are also charged with failing to intervene to stop Chauvin during the May 25, 2020, killing.
