George Floyd Legal Team Releases Statement Following Guilty Plea of Former Minneapolis Police Officer Alexander Kueng

Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump and co-counsel Antonio Romanucci and Jeff Storms today released the following statement following the guilty plea by former Minneapolis Police Officer Alexander Kueng to the Second-Degree Manslaughter Charge for his role in the May 25, 2020, murder of George Floyd: 

"The plea by former Minneapolis officer J. Alexander Kueng demonstrates that justice takes time to be secured but that, in this case, various measures of justice continue to be delivered for the family of George Floyd. We must never forget the horror of what we all saw in that 9-minute video, and that there rightfully should be both accountability for all involved as well as deep lessons learned for police officers and communities everywhere."
