A judge has scheduled sentencing this week for a former Minneapolis police officer convicted of violating George Floyd’s civil rights.
Thomas Lane was one of three other officers at the scene in 2020 when then-Officer Derek Chauvin pinned Floyd’s neck to the pavement with his knee for more than 9 minutes.
Lane held Floyd’s legs while Officer J. Alexander Kueng pinned his back and Officer Tou Thao held back onlookers.
Prosecutors are seeking from five–and-a-quarter to six-and-a-half years in prison when Lane is sentenced Thursday.
Sentencing hasn’t been set yet for Kueng and Thao, who are objecting to how their sentencing guidelines have been calculated in a presentence review.
