Sept. 21 (UPI) -- A former Minneapolis police officer who pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter relating to his role in the death of George Floyd was sentenced to three years in prison on Wednesday.
Thomas Lane has already been serving a 30-month sentence in federal prison in Colorado after he was convicted in July of violating Floyd's civil rights. In May, he pleaded guilty to a state charge of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death on May 25, 2020.
