Ex-cops charged in Floyd death want separation from Chauvin

Darnella Frazier, the teen who filmed the murder of George Floyd, said her uncle was killed in the crash after police collided with his car while chasing a stolen vehicle.MINNEAPOLIS -- Three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating George Floyd's civil rights are asking that their federal trials be separated from the trial of Derek Chauvin, who has already been convicted on state murder charges for kneeling on Floyd's neck as the Black man pleaded for air.

Keung's attorney, Tom Plunkett, said evidence against Chauvin would confuse the jury and deprive Kueng of his right to a fair trial. He also said there is a conflict of interest due to Chauvin's level of culpability in Floyd's death, saying"the jurors will not be able to follow the Court’s instructions and compartmentalize the evidence as it related to Mr. Kueng."

The four officers were also charged in state court, where Chauvin's trial was eventually separated from the others due to space restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter and was sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison. The other three former officers face state trial next March on aiding and abetting counts.

The federal indictment alleges Chauvin violated Floyd’s right to be free from unreasonable seizure and from unreasonable force by a police officer. Thao and Kueng are charged with violating Floyd’s right to be free from unreasonable seizure by not intervening to stop Chauvin as he knelt on Floyd’s neck. All four officers are charged for their failure to provide Floyd with medical care.

They would not leave his side while he killed Floyd in the street, but now they want to separate trials. Sounds about right.

but you were an integral part of floyds death, you let it happen......

MrsDigitalAsset You weren’t separated when you watched someone commit a murder, they can all burn in hell.

If they had stepped in, they wouldn't be tied to murder. They are just as guilty because they did nothing to prevent it. You all are murderer s to me.

They ain’t backing the blue no more 🤣 🤣 POS
