An attorney for former Minneapolis Police officer Thomas Lane filed a motion to dismiss charges against him in the death of George Floyd.
July 8 (UPI) — An attorney for one of the former officers charged in the killing of George Floyd filed a motion on Wednesday to dismiss charges against him based on transcripts of body-worn camera footage from the scene.
Attorney Earl Gray filed a motion to dismiss charges of aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter in the May 25 killing of Floyd against his client, Thomas Lane, citing a lack of probable cause “based on the entire record.”
Fellow former Minneapolis Police officers J. Alexander Keung and Tou Thao also face charges of aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter, while veteran officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes, faces charges of murder and manslaughter.
