MINNEAPOLIS — Jurors took a 30-minute lunch break and resumed deliberations Thursday afternoon in the federal trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating George Floyd's constitutional right to be free from unreasonable seizure.
As of noon, the jury had been behind closed doors for 10 hours over two days.
The all-white jury of 12 is trying to decide whether to convict former officers J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao for their role in restraining Floyd on Memorial Day 2020. The three are accused of helping former officer Derek Chauvin use illegal force on Floyd.
