George Floyd death: Minnesota judge postpones trial for 3 ex-police officers until March 2022
Judge Peter Cahill made room for the federal civil rights case to go forward first
Associated Press

  The trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting in the death of George Floyd will be pushed back to March 2022, a judge ruled Thursday.

Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao were scheduled to face trial Aug. 23 on charges they aided and abetted both murder and manslaughter. The officers’ co-defendant, Derek Chauvin, has already been convicted of murder and manslaughter counts. All four officers also face federal charges that allege they violated Floyd’s civil rights during his May 25 arrest.

Judge Peter Cahill said he changed the date so the federal case can go forward first. He also said he felt the need to put some distance between the three officers’ trial and Chauvin’s due to all the publicity around the case.

The news that the trial was being pushed back came during a Thursday hearing on pretrial motions. Defense attorneys for all three former officers agreed to the postponement. The state, via Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank, did not support the delay. It wasn’t made clear at Thursday’s motions hearing who originally sought the change.

The better match to reality isn't that the judge wants the double-jeopardy trial bogus civil rights component to go first...clearly Druggy Boy Floyd's civil rights weren't violated, but that the Rodents want an impressive show trial to extend through the summer of the Congressional election year.

Whatever happened to the right to a speedy trial?

Submerged before the importance of rigging Rodent elections for the Steal.

The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.
