Derek Chauvin and three other former officers were indicted by a federal grand jury Friday on charges that they violated George Floyd’s civil rights.
A three-count indictment named Chauvin, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and Alexander Keung.
All four former cops were charged with failure to provide Floyd, 46, with medical care while Chauvin had him pinned on the ground, with his knee on his neck for almost 9 minutes as Floyd said he couldn’t breathe.
According to the indictment, Chauvin, Kueng and Thoa were also charged with violating Floyd’s right to be free from excessive force and unreasonable seizure.
Chauvin was also convicted last year of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd’s death on May 20. 2020.
Chauvin could face to up to a maximum of 40 years in prison, or a minimum of just 12 years because he has no priors.
Thao, Keung, and Lane, who are free on bond, are set to go to trial in August on charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd’s death.
Chauvin remains in jail.
