Chauvin verdict a blow to ex-police trio awaiting trial over George Floyd death

Tou Thao, J Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane to go on trial in August, charged with aiding and abetting Floyd's murder

As millions of Americans welcomed Derek Chauvin's murder conviction, three of his former colleagues who still face trial for their part in George Floyd's death will have greeted it with dismay.

Tou Thao, J Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane face charges of aiding and abetting the murder and manslaughter of Floyd nearly a year ago. The Minnesota attorney general's office is attempting to add charges of third-degree murder against the men at a court hearing next month.
