Judge to discuss status of plea negotiations at Monday hearing for Thao, Kueng

US

MINNEAPOLIS — There’s a hearing Monday for the two remaining former officers awaiting trial on state charges in the killing of George Floyd.

The judge wants to discuss the “status of plea negotiations” for J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao.

Judge Peter Cahill said previously he would not accept plea agreements unless they came within 15 days after the officers were sentenced in federal court on separate civil rights charges. That window appears to have closed.

Thao and Kueng plan to appeal their civil rights convictions. Their state trial is slated to begin Oct. 24.

Derek Chauvin is serving more than 20 years for Floyd’s death.

The fourth officer, Thomas Lane, is serving a two-and-a-half year sentence for his federal conviction. He’s still waiting for his sentence in the state case.
