The judge overseeing the federal trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating George Floyd's civil rights ordered Wednesday that the names of the jurors be sealed for at least 10 years.
U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson said in his order that the court assured prospective jurors for the trial of J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao that their personal information would be kept confidential. The judge said federal law allows him to do so “in the interests of justice” and that this is “clearly” such a case.
