Jack Rice Appears on KSTP to talk about Plea Agreements and the Chauvin Co-Defendant Plea in Minneapolis
Thomas Lane was getting ready to go on trial on June 13th with his two co-defendants for aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd. They have already been convicted in Federal Court for other charges but this was the original set of charges that they faced following the conviction of Derek Chauvin.
Lane made the decision on 5/17 to plead guilty rather than going to trial. This was Lane’s right but it is always complicated to decide which direction to go when facing serious felony charges like murder in Minnesota Criminal Court. There are series of difference issues that should be considered when deciding whether to go to trial versus pleading guilty to anything. If you are facing such charges, make sure that you sit down with an experienced Minnesota criminal defense attorney.
