Supreme Court rejects appeal by ex-officer Tou Thao, who held back crowd as George Floyd lay dying

  • The US Supreme Court rejected the appeal of former Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao, who was convicted of violating George Floyd's civil rights by holding back bystanders as Floyd pleaded for his life.
  • Thao had argued that his actions were not willful and that prosecutorial misconduct denied him a fair trial. However, the Supreme Court declined to review his conviction without comment.
  • Thao is serving concurrent 3 1/2-year federal and 4 3/4-year state sentences for aiding and abetting Floyd's murder. Floyd's death sparked global protests and led to a national reckoning on police brutality and racism.
