Ex-cop who helped restrain George Floyd sentenced to 42 months in prison

A former Minneapolis police officer who assisted in the fatal restraint of George Floyd has been sentenced to 42 months in prison for his role in the killing.
 
J. Alexander Kueng pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter last October in exchange for the state dropping a count of aiding and abetting second-degree unintentional murder in the May 25, 2020 incident.
 
Mr. Floyd's death triggered international protests against police brutality.
 
Kueng appeared remotely from the US Bureau of Prisons Elkton facility in Lisbon, Ohio, where he is serving a three-year federal sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights.
 
He did not address the court.
