The lawyer for Maurice Hall, one of the key witnesses who was in the car with George Floyd on the day he died, said that Hall’s testimony in court could potentially implicate him in a third-degree murder charge. Hall’s attorney Ashlee C. McFarlane said that the car that Floyd and Hall were in on the day that Floyd died was searched twice and drugs were found in the car both times. “This leaves Mr. Hall potentially incriminating himself into a future prosecution for third-degree murder,” McFarlane told the court Tuesday. “That statute, as the court is well aware, covers third-degree murder liability for someone who is involved in drug activity that eventually leads to an overdose,” she continued.
