MINNEAPOLIS
(AP) — Prosecutors charged three more police officers Wednesday in the
death of George Floyd and filed a new, tougher charge against the
officer at the center of the case, delivering a victory to protesters
who have filled the streets from coast to coast to fight police
brutality and racial injustice.
The
most serious charge was filed against Derek Chauvin, who was caught on
video pressing his knee to Floyd’s neck and now must defend himself
against an accusation of second-degree murder. The three other officers
at the scene were charged for the first time with aiding and abetting
second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
