All three former Minneapolis police officers who were arrested Wednesday on charges of aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd will have their first court appearances on Thursday afternoon.
The three officers — J. Alexander Keung, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — are set to appear before the judicial officer at 1:45 p.m. ET.
The hearings were pushed up by 45 minutes from their original schedule, according to court records.
No official reason was given, but the original start times would have had the former officers appearing in court at the same time as a televised memorial for George Floyd in Minneapolis, to be attended by his family
