With the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd on Tuesday, prosecutors will begin turning their attention to making their case against three others who took part in the fatal arrest.

Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane, all of whom were fired and arrested days after Floyd died last May, face charges at a trial on Aug. 23 that they aided and abetted second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of Floyd.

Aiding and abetting murder is punishable by up to 40 years in prison, although sentencing guidelines can reduce the maximum to 15 years.

The following is a summary of Minnesota prosecutors' allegations against each of the men, all of whom are free on $750,000 bail:

Well I can tell you these other three morons are likely going to get off and then of course riots will follow.

Doubtful.

Either way.

Deja vu.

This year will live in infamy -- or fraudulent glory.

Unlike Chauvin they might be able to take the stand in their own defense, something that usually impresses the jury.

Doubtful.

I understand one of those guys was on his 3rd shift -- ever -- as a police officer when the Floyd arrest occurred. Now I've been critical for many years of police that have killed innocent people needlessly and purposefully, and I could accept a manslaughter charge on Chauvin for not doing something else with Floyd after he went unconscious, but these guys are clear scape-goats.

Sorry, but that guy comes off like a 1970's used car salesman.

Oh, Prof. Turley's great -- the only rightist seriously bringing any hope amid the ongoing horrors. If it's all ever getting you down, go to his channel and hit Play All. He'll responsibly have you feeling more optimistic in no time. Note the Marine Le Pen poster behind him.

He 'comes across' totally differently than our other punditry but don't let that throw you off. He teaches at a minor university and may feel obligated to keep things very Thomas Woods-like to hold the interest of today's young diploma fodder.

I made my comment during is intro which did indeed come off that way, and I've seen that with him before. But once he got into the meat of his message in the above clip, he shed most of that "used car-salesman" persona.
