The trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting over the death of George Floyd will be pushed back to March 2022, a judge ruled.

Thomas Lane, J Kueng and Tou Thao were scheduled to face trial on August 23 on charges they aided and abetted both murder and manslaughter.
