Derek Chauvin appears likely to change his plea from not guilty to guilty to the federal charges of violating the civil rights George Floyd.
The police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd plans to change his not guilty plea in a separate civil rights case, a court filing says.
Mr Floyd's death in May 2020 sparked protests against racial injustice and police brutality in the United States and across the world.The change of plea hearing is scheduled for Wednesday in US District Court in St Paul, Minnesota. All four pleaded not guilty to the federal charges in September and are scheduled to go on trial next year.
Mr Keung and Mr Lane helped to restrain the handcuffed Mr Floyd, while Mr Thao kept away bystanders who were pleading with the officers to get off of Mr Floyd as he complained he was unable to breathe.Hundreds of thousands of people subsequently poured onto streets across the country and overseas to demand an end to racism and police brutality.
