The State of Minnesota wants the George Floyd trial to be moved to June 7th to allow more time for coronavirus safety protocols to be put into place.
The state says it’s ready to start the trial on March 8th, but it wants to delay the trial for safety reasons. The attorney for one of the four officers charged in the case is objecting to the date change. Derek Chauvin is charged with second-degree unintentional murder and manslaughter, while Tou Thao, Thomas Lane, and J. Alexander Kueng are charged with aiding and abetting.
