Jury selection began Thursday in the federal trial of three former Minneapolis police officers who are charged in relation to the murder of George Floyd, the Associated Press reports.
The three former officers — J. Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — are charged with depriving Floyd of his civil rights while acting under government authority. Kueng, Lane and Thao declined to help Floyd despite it being evident that he was in need of medical assistance, the indictment states.
The accused are also being charged with aiding and abetting the murder at the state level, with the trial now set for June 13.
Potential jurors in the federal trial are being questioned by U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson and subjected to an extensive questionnaire.

Had to wait until Chauvin was convicted of murder so these charges seem more ominous
