Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, left, in a news conference in St. Paul on June 3, 2020, announces prosecutors have expanded their case against the police who were at the scene of George Floyd’s death, charging three of the officers with aiding and abetting a murder and upgrading the charges against the officer who pressed his knee on FloydÕs neck to second-degree murder. The most serious charge was filed against Derek Chauvin, whose caught-on-video treatment of the handcuffed Floyd spurred worldwide protests. Three other officers — Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao — were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder. All four were fired last week. (Pool video)
