Chauvin, ex-officers in George Floyd's case could be federally indicted on civil rights charges: report
Fox News
Federal prosecutors have been mounting a case against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and the three other ex-cops involved in the call that led to the death of George Floyd, with the intention of indicting the quartet on civil rights charges, according to a report.
The charges, if a grand jury chooses to indict, would be in addition to the state charges of aiding and abetting both second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, for which the trio is expected to stand trial in August, according to the report. The Tribune also described how U.S. Department of Justice officials planned to arrest Chauvin at Hennepin County Courthouse earlier this month if the judge declared a mistrial, or if the jury announced a verdict had found the 45-year-old former officer not guilty.More Related News
