We continue yesterday's discussion on developments in the George Floyd case.

Minneapolis ex-cop Derek Chauvin, appealing his conviction on state murder and manslaughter charges in the killing of George Floyd last year, now faces federal charges related to the same crime.

Chauvin, 37, and three other fired cops -- Tou Tao, 34; J. Alexander Kueng, 26; and Thomas Lane, 37 -- face a laundry list of charges, including aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter; second-degree unintentional murder; third degree murder; and second-degree manslaughter.

They were indicted on the federal charges Friday. Their trials begin in August.

Chauvin was convicted last month on state murder and manslaughter charges for his key role in causing Floyd's death during a brutal attempted arrest.

QUESTION:

If these new charges stick and all four ex-officers are found guilty in the federal trial, will that finally close the case?
