MINNEAPOLIS The August trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting George Floyd s murder will be also livestreamed like that of their former colleague Derek Chauvin, who was convicted last week in the case.
Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill s ruling last November allowing the livestreaming will apply to the Aug. 23 trial of J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, court spokesman Spenser Bickett said Wednesday, April 28. All three will be tried together in one trial. Former officer Derek Chauvin s March 8 to April 20 trial was livestreamed across the world by several media outlets.

Watching the horrific video of George Floyd dying under the knee of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin, even before charges were filed last year, I called it the way I saw it: Murder.
I’m often accused of being pro-police to a fault. But for me the video was enough. Just as with the Laquan McDonald case in Chicago the Black teenager shot 16 times by a white cop it was the video.
But I wasn’t in that Minneapolis courtroom for the Chauvin trial. The jurors were in the courtroom. They made their decision on Tuesday: Guilty on all three counts of murder and manslaughter.
