Summary

Kueng checked for Floyd's pulse but could not find one.All four officers were fired in the wake of the bystander video's release, and they were arrested and charged days later.Thao had been an officer for more than eight years, while Lane and Kueng were rookie officers with only a few days of experience, according to a criminal complaint.Chauvin pleaded guilty in December to federal civil rights charges for violating Floyd's rights during the arrest. He also pleaded guilty in a separate federal case in which he was accused of depriving the rights of a 14-year-old in 2017 for kneeling on the back and neck of a handcuffed, non-resisting teenager.As part of that plea agreement, Chauvin faces a sentence of between 20 and 25 years in prison to be served concurrently with his current 22.5-year sentence on the state murder charges.From CNN's Eric LevensonThe three former police officers who helped Derek Chauvin restrain George Floyd on a Minneapolis street in May 2020 are set to stand trial in a federal courtroom today for violating his civil rights.Opening statements are set for 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. local).
