Verdict reached in federal civil rights trial over George Floyd's death

The jury has reached a verdict in the federal civil rights trial of three former police officers involved in the death of George Floyd. The verdict is expected to be announced in court shortly. 

Former Minneapolis police officers Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng are accused of violating Floyd's civil rights during his arrest and death by denying him medical care. Kueng and Thao are also charged with failing to intervene to stop fellow officer Derek Chauvin, who had his knee on Floyd's neck.

In closing arguments, the prosecution maintained that all three officers violated Floyd's rights and their duties by not immediately offering him first aid when he began to struggle to breathe.
