Prosecutors from the U.S. Department of Justice's civil rights division will seek to convince the jury that the men “wilfully failed to aid Floyd” as he fell unconscious beneath Chauvin's knee.

The indictment says that a person under arrest has a right to “be free from a police officer's deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs.”

Lane, who helped Keung physically restrain Floyd's lower body, avoided being charged with the second count in part because videos record him asking his colleagues whether they should roll Floyd on his side, a position in which it is easier to breathe. Thao, meanwhile, contended with anguished onlookers, who screamed at police that Floyd had stopped breathing, by ordering them to stay on the sidewalk.

Many of the onlookers, who testified at Chauvin's state trial, are expected to be called as witnesses at the federal trial. Neither prosecutors nor defense lawyers have publicly said if they will call Chauvin to testify.
