02:52Members of George Floyd's family, including his brother and nephew, reacted on the verdict finding all three former Minneapolis police officers guilty violating George Floyd's civil rights as the decision was announced at a courthouse in St Paul, Minnesota, on Thursday.
"This is historic, especially for people of colour," said Philonise Floyd, George's brother, outside the court, adding, "I am just hoping people learned their lesson. I'm hoping a lot of police officers learned their lesson."
The all-white federal jury composed of 12 jurors, eight women, and four men, announced the verdict on Thursday afternoon, after about 13 hours of deliberations split over two days.
Former Minneapolis police officers Alexander Kueng, Tou Thao, and Thomas Lane have all been convicted of the charges of violating George Floyd's civil rights by showing deliberate indifference and failing to provide medical aid as officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's back for over nine minutes.
Thao and Kueng were found guilty of an extra charge for failing to intervene to stop Chauvin, while Lane had testified that he tried twice to ask Chauvin to reposition Floyd during his restraining, failing both times.
