Former Police Officer Sentenced To 2.5 Years For George Floyd's Death

Ex-officer Thomas Lane was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison for violating George Floyd's civil rights, a sentence deemed insufficient by Floyd's family and prosecutors who sought a longer term. The judge noted Lane's minimal role in the incident, as he suggested turning Floyd over to help him breathe. Other officers involved, including Derek Chauvin, received longer sentences, with Chauvin serving 21 years federally. King and Tao await sentencing and face state charges. Lane is free on bond until October 4th.
