Three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating George Floyd's civil rights have filed motions to separate their federal cases from that of Derek Chauvin, who was convicted in April on state murder charges in Floyd's death.
Former officer Tou Thao's attorneys, Robert Paule and Natalie Paule, cited a number of reasons for the request, including that the jury will have"insurmountable difficulty distinguishing the alleged acts of each defendant from the alleged acts of his co-defendants.""Evidence may be introduced by each defendant which would be inadmissible against other defendants in a separate trial to the prejudice of those defendants," was another reason cited by the attorneys.
The indictment said Chauvin deprived Floyd of the right to be free from"unreasonable seizure, which includes the right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by a police officer." A trial date has not been set for this case.Thao and Kueng were also charged in connection with their failure to intervene in Chauvin's use of unreasonable force, according to the federal indictment. Chauvin, Thao, Kueng and Lane all face a charge for failing to give Floyd medical aid.
