Lane has been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree unintentional murder and second-degree manslaughter.
The legal team for Thomas Lane, one of the former police officers charged in the death of George Floyd, filed a motion Wednesday to dismiss the charges, according to CBS Minnesota. Lane has been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree unintentional murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Lane’s attorney, Earl Gray, said his client did not intend to further a crime when he held down Floyd’s legs and feet, and that he “did not intentionally aid, advise, hire, counsel, or conspire with (Derek) Chauvin or otherwise procure Chauvin to commit second degree murder,” CBS Minnesota reported.
