One of four former Minneapolis police officers at the scene of George Floyd's death learned his sentence on manslaughter charges on Wednesday.
Thomas Lane, who already pleaded guilty to a state charge of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter in the killing of Floyd, was sentenced to three years.
He was already serving a 2 1/2-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights. FOX 9 Minneapolis reported that Wednesday's sentencing means no additional jail time for Lane.
In reaching a plea deal with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's office, he agreed to plead guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter under the contingency that he get a three-year state sentence to be served at the same time as his federal sentence.
