Thao and Kueng are also charged with failing to intervene in Chauvin’s use of force. Lane is not. Lane had twice asked to move Floyd onto his side, but Chauvin said no. This is another disruption in a trial that Judge Paul Magnuson was trying to keep moving. On Tuesday afternoon, testimony ended two hours early because the prosecution did not have a witness ready to go. One of their planned witnesses was ill and prosecutors were unable to get another in to take his place.
Testimony was set to resume Wednesday morning with an out-of-state expert, who was not in town yet on Tuesday to take the stand.
