2 ex-Minneapolis cops reject plea deal over George Floyd killing, head to state trial: 'It would be lying'
Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng face state trial in October
Two former Minneapolis police officers rejected plea deals Monday on state charges connected to the May 2020 killing of George Floyd and are now slated to stand trial beginning in October. During a 15-minute court hearing Monday morning, the former officers, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng, rejected final offers from the state to avoid trail, FOX 9 Minneapolis reported. In the final plea offer, state prosecutors proposed a 36-month sentence on the aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting manslaughter charges to be served at the same time as the federal sentence.(https://www.kob.com/wp-content/uploads/AP/US_George_Floyd_Other_Officers_Trial_92884.jpg)
