The trial of 3 former Minnesota police officers charged in George Floyd's death has been pushed back.
The state trial for Tou Thao, J Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane will be held in March 2022.
The trio, along with convicted cop Derek Chauvin, will first face federal charges in Floyd's killing.
The trial for three fired Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting convicted cop Derek Chauvin in George Floyd's killing has been delayed, according to CBS station WCCO.
Judge Peter Cahill moved the state trial for Tou Thao, J Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane from August 2021 to March 2022 in preparation for a federal trial against the trio on civil rights charges, WCCO reported.
Floyd died on May 25, 2020 after Chauvin knelt on his neck for nine minutes during an arrest.
Thao, Kueng, and Lane, were all at the scene of the arrest.
Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter in Floyd's death last month. He will also face federal charges in Floyd's murder.
