Minnesota prosecutors and a defense attorney for one of two former Minneapolis police officers who still face a state trial in George Floyd's killing have made dueling requests for a new trial date. Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng are charged with aiding and abetting both murder and manslaughter. Their trial had been postponed until January 2023. Now, the state is requesting a speedy trial on behalf of Floyd's family, while Kueng's defense attorney is seeking an even longer delay until April 2023.

Federal prosecutors asked a judge to sentence Kueng, one of the four former Minneapolis police officers convicted of civil rights violations in George Floyd's killing to less than the 25 to 30 years Derek Chauvin is going to get, but “significantly higher” than the 6 1/2 years another defendant could get.(Hennepin County Sheriff's Office via AP, File) FILE -This combination of photos provided by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office in Minnesota on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, shows Derek Chauvin, from left, J.
