What’s happens next after officers’ conviction for violating George Floyd’s rights?

Hennepin County Sheriff

The three former police officers who watched as their fellow officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd were all found guilty of violating the Black man’s civil rights in a federal court on Thursday.

Tou Thao, 36; J Alexander Kueng, 28; and Thomas Lane, 38, were convicted of depriving Mr Floyd of his civil rights by failing to provide him with medical care when he was pinned down and dying under Chauvin’s knee for nine minutes and 29 seconds on Memorial Day 2020.
