BREAKING: Former Minneapolis police Officer Thomas Lane was sentenced Thursday to 2 1/2 years in prison on a federal civil rights charge for his role in the killing of George Floyd
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Former Minneapolis police Officer Thomas Lane was sentenced Thursday to 2 1/2 years in prison on a federal civil rights charge for his role in the killing of George Floyd.
But Magnuson also held up 145 letters of support for Lane - he said he had never received so many on behalf of a defendant - and faulted the Minneapolis Police Department for sending him out with another rookie on the call that ended with Floyd's killing. Lane, who is white, held Floyd's legs as Chauvin pinned Floyd for nearly 9 1/2 minutes. Two other officers, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao, were also convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights and will be sentenced later. Lane faces a separate sentencing Sept. 21 in state court after changing his plea there to guilty to a reduced charge of aiding and abetting manslaughter.
Gray argued during the trial that Lane"did everything he could possibly do to help George Floyd." He pointed out that Lane suggested rolling Floyd on his side so he could breathe, but was rebuffed twice by Chauvin. He also noted that Lane performed CPR to try to revive Floyd after the ambulance arrived.
When Lane pleaded guilty in state court in May, Gray said Lane hoped to avoid a long sentence."He has a newborn baby and did not want to risk not being part of the child's life," he said.
