Additional charges in Floyd court case

Lawyers for the state and for three former Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd’s death have appeared before the Minnesota Court of Appeals as prosecutors sought to add an additional charge to the case.

Thomas Lane, J Kueng and Tou Thao are to face trial next March on charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter. Prosecutors want to add an additional count of aiding and abetting thirddegree murder.
