No surprise here....
Three Ex-Cops Convicted of Violating George Floyd's Rights Claim Prosecutors' 'Repeated and Intentional' Misconduct Calls for New Trial
March 10, 2022
The three former Minneapolis police officers who were convicted in late February of depriving George Floyd of his constitutional rights are demanding a new trial. In essence, the men convicted of violating Floyd’s rights are now saying prosecutors violated theirs.
A three-count indictment dated May 7, 2021, accused Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Kiernan Lane of “deprivation of rights under color of law” under the U.S. Constitution by way of causes of action enshrined in 18 U.S.C. § 242 and 18 U.S.C. § 2. Lane faced one count; Thao and Kueng faced two. Convicted murderer Derek Chauvin was also named in the same charging instrument but pleaded guilty in late December.
[.....]
“The Government’s actions during this lawsuit stripped Mr. Thao of his constitutionally protected right to a fair and impartial trial due to repeated breaches of this Court’s pretrial orders, questions and arguments that violated rules of criminal procedure and evidence, and unprofessionalism in front of the jury,” wrote attorneys Robert M. Paule and Natalie R. Paule for Thao in a document which spring-boarded off of prior arguments by Kueng and Lane and which was subsequently joined by Kueng.
[.....]
In response to Lane’s Feb. 28 motion, prosecutors issued a similarly terse motion which lauded the government’s “exhaustive evidence.”
“[T]herefore,” the government wrote, Lane’s motion to toss the guilty verdicts “must be denied, as substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdict.”

Prosecution asks to keep cameras in court for trial of ex-officers charged in George Floyd’s death
April 7, 2022
(KSTP) - The murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was the first case in Minnesota to allow cameras in the courtroom. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill cited coronavirus concerns and the case’s high public interest when allowing televised coverage for that trial.
Now, state prosecutors are seeking the exact same trial conditions for J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, the other three ex-officers charged in George Floyd’s death. They’re each charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
“In short, what the Court did the first time worked,” a memo filed Thursday states, “and this Court should continue to use the same proven procedures in the second trial.”
[.....]
The prosecution also argued that COVID-19 remains a threat to the proceedings, and allowing a publicly available live feed will minimize the number of people present in the courtroom and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus.
[.....]
The defense has previously asked Judge Cahill to deny the use of cameras during the trial, and so far he has struck down those requests. However, Cahill’s last ruling on televising the trial came before he delayed proceedings to accommodate the ex-officers’ federal civil rights trial.
Judge Cahill is expected to decide on the trial parameters Monday evening.
[.....]
In addition to its support for allowing live camera coverage, the prosecution team wants to only partially sequester the jury, as was done in the Chauvin trial, to “avoid creating unnecessary burdens for Minnesotans who seek to perform their civic duty.”
The memo also asks Cahill not to extend the trial’s expert disclosure deadline and to limit the defense’s expert medical testimony.
Jury selection for the trial of Kueng, Lane and Thao is scheduled to begin June 13.

Will definitely shorten this up a bit.... it's been awhile since I last posted this.
Monday, April 11th:
*Hearing for all (State) (@ 5pm CT) - MN – George Perry Floyd, Jr. (46) (May 25, 2020, Minneapolis, arrested for forgery & killed in police custody) – Tou Thao (34/now 36), Thomas Kiernan Lane (37/now 39), & J. Alexander Kueng (26/now 28) were fired (5/26/20), arrested (6/3/20) & charged (6/4/20) with aiding & abetting 2nd degree murder-unintentional-while committing a felony & aiding & abetting 2nd degree manslaughter-culpable negligence creating unreasonable risk.

Bond conditions & court info from 6/3/20 to 6/30/21 reference post #979 here:
GUILTY - MN - George Floyd, 46, killed in police custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #20
8/24/21: Defendant's Motion to exclude video & audio recording of proceedings filed by Kueng & Lane. For upcoming hearing on 9/2/21-order to prohibit live video or audio coverage of trial. And Attorney's affidavit in support of motion-exclude video & audio recording filed by Kueng & Lane. Reason: attorney Thomas Plunkett assets: has been informed by potential defense & expert witnesses that they will not testify because this matter is televised. Evidentiary hearing on 9/2/21.
9/2/21 Update: During Thursday's hearing, Gray dropped his earlier request that the state provide all use-of-force reports since July 2016 in which another officer intervened in force used by a colleague, because he is pursuing information from the city himself. An officer’s duty to intervene came up often during testimony in Chauvin’s trial. Judge Cahill also denied a defense request to issue a factual finding that a potential expert witness for the state coerced Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker to change his findings by noting that neck compression was a factor in Floyd's death. Paule said Thursday that he wasn't accusing the state of using former Washington, D.C., medical examiner Dr. Roger Mitchell to coerce Baker, but that the state failed to take action after prosecutors learned Mitchell threatened to write an op-ed critical of Baker's findings. The state ultimately did not call Mitchell as a witness in Chauvin's case. Judge Cahill also denied a defense request to sanction the state over a New York Times report based on leaked information about how Chauvin had been prepared to plead guilty days after Floyd's death. Numerous lawyers from the attorney general's office & the Hennepin County attorney's office have filed affidavits stating that they weren't the source of the leaked information & Judge Cahill said Thursday that he doesn't believe the State was the leak's source. He quashed a defense subpoena to have State Attorney General Keith Ellison testify about the issue. Regarding live stream opposed by defense, Judge Cahill will rule on the issue later. Judge Cahill said Thursday that issues surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic might change again before the March trial to allow livestreaming.
10/6/21: State's Motion to Amend scheduling order on expert disclosures. 10/11/21: Order: denying Motion. 10/13/21: Discovery Disclosure. 10/28/21: Amended Order of Protection for not public data. 12/2/21: Juror Supplemental questionnaire(s) Form 50. 12/15/21: Discovery disclosure.
1/4/22: for all: Supplemental prosecution disclosure pursuant to Rule 9.01, Subd. 1. Police/investigative report(s), search warrant(s) & other: Thomas Lane Hennepin County Records (Dept. of Community Corrections & Rehabilitation Juvenile Detention Center), verdict forms (Chauvin).
1/7/22 Update: Attorneys for the defense & prosecution are asking a Hennepin County judge to delay the March trial date for three former Minneapolis police officers in order to allow a federal trial to run its course first. Motion filed on 1/7/22. A federal judge this week formally scheduled jury selection for the civil rights trial of Thao, Kueng & Lane to begin 1/20/22 in St. Paul. The state's trial against the former officers is currently set to begin 3/7/22. Since it is unknown how long the federal trial will take, "a continuance should be granted in the interest of justice" per a letter to Judge Peter Cahill that was signed by Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank & defense lawyers for the former officers.
1/10/22: Judge Peter Cahill denied a motion from the three other former police officers charged in Floyd’s murder to limit live streaming of the trial. He that the pandemic-related health conditions that led the court in November of 2020 to order audio & video livestreaming of the trial remain the same. The only difference now, he wrote, is that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is even more contagious now than previous versions of the virus. They are slated to stand trial for the Federal charges on 1/20/22. That trial will not be live streamed. The State trial for the three former officers is scheduled for 3/7/22.
1/12/22 Update: Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter A. Cahill has approved requests from the prosecution & defense to delay the March 7 trial. In granting the order, Cahill instructed both sides to meet by Saturday 1/15/22 to decide & agree upon a new trial date. He also ordered them to expect to set aside three weeks for jury selection & five weeks for the rest of the trial. Cahill said he would allow any trial date between March 14, 2022 & Jan. 9, 2023. If the parties could not agree, he said, the original trial date would remain & proceedings would be pushed back on a day-by-day basis as needed.
1/19/22 Update: Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill has granted the trial continuance. Jury selection will begin on 6/13/22. 2/11/22: Correspondence; Discovery Disclosure; Affidavit of Service; e-Service: All: 3 by Minnesota, 6 to Thao & Lane & 9 to Kueng. 3/16/22: Correspondence; Discovery Disclosure; Affidavit of Service & 3 e-Service by State & 6 e-Service by Thao & Lane & 9 e-Service by Kueng. 4/1/22: Motion for Discovery. 6 eService served by State, 4 by Thao, 4 by Lane & 6 by Kueng. Next hearing on 4/11/22 @ 5pm.
4/7/22 Update: Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill cited coronavirus concerns & the case’s high public interest when allowing televised coverage for that trial. State prosecutors are seeking the exact same trial conditions for Kueng, Lane & Thao, the other three ex-officers charged in George Floyd’s death. The defense has previously asked Judge Cahill to deny the use of cameras during the trial & so far he has struck down those requests. However, Cahill’s last ruling on televising the trial came before he delayed proceedings to accommodate the ex-officers’ federal civil rights trial.

GUILTY - MN - George Floyd, 46, killed in police custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #20
8/24/21: Defendant's Motion to exclude video & audio recording of proceedings filed by Kueng & Lane. For upcoming hearing on 9/2/21-order to prohibit live video or audio coverage of trial. And Attorney's affidavit in support of motion-exclude video & audio recording filed by Kueng & Lane. Reason: attorney Thomas Plunkett assets: has been informed by potential defense & expert witnesses that they will not testify because this matter is televised. Evidentiary hearing on 9/2/21.
9/2/21 Update: During Thursday's hearing, Gray dropped his earlier request that the state provide all use-of-force reports since July 2016 in which another officer intervened in force used by a colleague, because he is pursuing information from the city himself. An officer’s duty to intervene came up often during testimony in Chauvin’s trial. Judge Cahill also denied a defense request to issue a factual finding that a potential expert witness for the state coerced Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker to change his findings by noting that neck compression was a factor in Floyd's death. Paule said Thursday that he wasn't accusing the state of using former Washington, D.C., medical examiner Dr. Roger Mitchell to coerce Baker, but that the state failed to take action after prosecutors learned Mitchell threatened to write an op-ed critical of Baker's findings. The state ultimately did not call Mitchell as a witness in Chauvin's case. Judge Cahill also denied a defense request to sanction the state over a New York Times report based on leaked information about how Chauvin had been prepared to plead guilty days after Floyd's death. Numerous lawyers from the attorney general's office & the Hennepin County attorney's office have filed affidavits stating that they weren't the source of the leaked information & Judge Cahill said Thursday that he doesn't believe the State was the leak's source. He quashed a defense subpoena to have State Attorney General Keith Ellison testify about the issue. Regarding live stream opposed by defense, Judge Cahill will rule on the issue later. Judge Cahill said Thursday that issues surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic might change again before the March trial to allow livestreaming.
10/6/21: State's Motion to Amend scheduling order on expert disclosures. 10/11/21: Order: denying Motion. 10/13/21: Discovery Disclosure. 10/28/21: Amended Order of Protection for not public data. 12/2/21: Juror Supplemental questionnaire(s) Form 50. 12/15/21: Discovery disclosure.
1/4/22: for all: Supplemental prosecution disclosure pursuant to Rule 9.01, Subd. 1. Police/investigative report(s), search warrant(s) & other: Thomas Lane Hennepin County Records (Dept. of Community Corrections & Rehabilitation Juvenile Detention Center), verdict forms (Chauvin).
1/7/22 Update: Attorneys for the defense & prosecution are asking a Hennepin County judge to delay the March trial date for three former Minneapolis police officers in order to allow a federal trial to run its course first. Motion filed on 1/7/22. A federal judge this week formally scheduled jury selection for the civil rights trial of Thao, Kueng & Lane to begin 1/20/22 in St. Paul. The state's trial against the former officers is currently set to begin 3/7/22. Since it is unknown how long the federal trial will take, "a continuance should be granted in the interest of justice" per a letter to Judge Peter Cahill that was signed by Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank & defense lawyers for the former officers.
1/10/22: Judge Peter Cahill denied a motion from the three other former police officers charged in Floyd’s murder to limit live streaming of the trial. He that the pandemic-related health conditions that led the court in November of 2020 to order audio & video livestreaming of the trial remain the same. The only difference now, he wrote, is that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is even more contagious now than previous versions of the virus. They are slated to stand trial for the Federal charges on 1/20/22. That trial will not be live streamed. The State trial for the three former officers is scheduled for 3/7/22.
1/12/22 Update: Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter A. Cahill has approved requests from the prosecution & defense to delay the March 7 trial. In granting the order, Cahill instructed both sides to meet by Saturday 1/15/22 to decide & agree upon a new trial date. He also ordered them to expect to set aside three weeks for jury selection & five weeks for the rest of the trial. Cahill said he would allow any trial date between March 14, 2022 & Jan. 9, 2023. If the parties could not agree, he said, the original trial date would remain & proceedings would be pushed back on a day-by-day basis as needed.
1/19/22 Update: Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill has granted the trial continuance. Jury selection will begin on 6/13/22. 2/11/22: Correspondence; Discovery Disclosure; Affidavit of Service; e-Service: All: 3 by Minnesota, 6 to Thao & Lane & 9 to Kueng. 3/16/22: Correspondence; Discovery Disclosure; Affidavit of Service & 3 e-Service by State & 6 e-Service by Thao & Lane & 9 e-Service by Kueng. 4/1/22: Motion for Discovery. 6 eService served by State, 4 by Thao, 4 by Lane & 6 by Kueng. Next hearing on 4/11/22 @ 5pm.
4/7/22 Update: Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill cited coronavirus concerns & the case’s high public interest when allowing televised coverage for that trial. State prosecutors are seeking the exact same trial conditions for Kueng, Lane & Thao, the other three ex-officers charged in George Floyd’s death. The defense has previously asked Judge Cahill to deny the use of cameras during the trial & so far he has struck down those requests. However, Cahill’s last ruling on televising the trial came before he delayed proceedings to accommodate the ex-officers’ federal civil rights trial. Judge Cahill is expected to decide on the trial parameters Monday evening. In addition to its support for allowing live camera coverage, the prosecution team wants to only partially sequester the jury, as was done in the Chauvin trial, to “avoid creating unnecessary burdens for Minnesotans who seek to perform their civic duty.” The memo also asks Cahill not to extend the trial’s expert disclosure deadline & to limit the defense’s expert medical testimony. Jury selection for the trial of Kueng, Lane & Thao is scheduled to begin 6/13/22.

Plea deal rejected by 3 ex-officers in George Floyd's death
April 11, 2022
MINNEAPOLIS – Prosecutors revealed Monday evening that they offered plea deals to three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd, but said at a hearing that the defendants rejected them.
Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill held the hearing mostly to consider whether he has the authority to allow live video coverage of the upcoming trial set to begin in June for former Officers Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng. They're charged with aiding and abetting both manslaughter and murder when former officer Derek Chauvin used his knee to pin Floyd, a Black man, to the pavement for 9 1/2 minutes on May 25, 2020. Kueng knelt on Floyd’s back, Lane held his legs and Thao kept bystanders back.
Lead prosecutor Matthew Frank did not disclose details of the plea offers in open court but said they were identical and were made March 22 after a jury convicted the three in a separate trial in February on federal civil rights charges stemming from Floyd’s death, according to pool reports from inside the courtroom.
Lane’s attorney, Earl Gray, said it was hard for the defense to negotiate when the three still don’t know what their federal sentences will be. The judge in that case has not set a sentencing date, and all three remain free on bail.
Cahill told Frank to file the offers for the record after the jury is seated for the upcoming trial, which is expected to take around eight weeks, including three for jury selection.
[.....]
...... He did not rule during their pretrial hearing, and said he won't until after the Minnesota Judicial Council — a panel of leading judges and court administrators — meets Thursday to discuss the issue.
[.....]
Cahill noted that while he has publicly said he now believes the legal presumption should be to allow televised trials, he pointed out that that’s not the rule yet. “I’m still sworn to uphold the law,” he said.
Defense attorneys said they still oppose audiovisual coverage of the upcoming trial, and renewed concerns about the willingness of witnesses to testify.

but would you know the link to the Federal case for the 3 officers? 
I believe Chauvin will not win and will stay in jail where he belongs.
@LaurenKARE11
The MN Human Rights Investigation into Minneapolis Police is absolutely damning. It's available for anyone to read. https://mn.gov/mdhr/assets/Investigation%20into%20the%20City%20of%20Minneapolis%20and%20the%20Minneapolis%20Police%20Department_tcm1061-526417.pdf
Many wondered if Derek Chauvin was "coached" for the 2017 case in which he struck a 14 year old over the head with a flashlight simply because he didn't stand up. A case Chauvin pleaded guilty to in federal court this year.
It's actually worse than that. The Human Rights report finds an MPD supervisor reviewed Chauvin's use of force in that case and "approved" it. BTW - the reports from that case show Chauvin was acting as another officer's FTO at the time.
