The attorney for George Floyd's family says authorities have informed them charges will be filed against all officers involved in his death.
During a Monday interview on NBC's Today, Ben Crump, the attorney for Floyd's family, said he was informed that all four officers involved in Floyd's death will face criminal charges.
"We heard that they expect to charge those officers," Crump said. "And now with the autopsy, the independent autopsy from the family that pays particular attention to the two knees at the back compressing his lungs, which is equally important as the neck compression cutting off the flow of air ... they will be charged, we understand. That is what the families are hearing from the authorities."
An independent autopsy, which was commissioned by Floyd's family, found that his death was a "homicide caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression that led to a lack of blood flow to the brain," according to a Monday statement from the family's lawyer.
