Attorneys in the federal trial of three former Minneapolis police officers involved in George Floyd's 2020 killing will deliver closing arguments Tuesday after four days of testimony during which each officer took the stand in his own defense.

Prosecutors told US District Court Judge Paul Magnuson last week they would need up to two hours for their closing remarks, while defense lawyers for the three men indicated they'd each need between an hour and 90 minutes.
