A federal judge has sentenced former Minneapolis police officer Thomas Lane to 30 months in prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights. In May of 2020, Lane was filmed holding Floyd’s legs as former officer Derek Chauvin pinned his knees to Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, killing him. Lane is set to be sentenced on separate manslaughter charges in a Minnesota court in September.
