Chauvin to be tried separately in George Floyd death
https://www.startribune.com/derek-chauvin-will-be-tried-separately-in-death-of-george-floyd/600009598/Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin will stand trial alone in March in connection with the death of George Floyd, leaving the three other former police officers involved in the death to be tried together later this summer.
The trial in Hennepin County District Court of Chauvin, who had his knee on a Floyd until he fell unconscious and later died on May 25, will proceed on March 8, Judge Peter Cahill ordered late Monday.
The other defendants, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao, will remain tried together, but Cahill moved the start of that trial to Aug. 23.
