A former Minneapolis police officer will spend just under five years behind bars for one count of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
Tou Thao was sentenced Monday morning to 57 months in prison for his role in the killing of George Floyd, becoming the fourth and final ex-officer to be sentenced in the state’s Floyd cases. All four former officers have already been sentenced in federal court, too, KSTP reports.
Thao’s sentence will run concurrently with his three-and-a-half-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights.
