A trial was set to begin in Minnesota court for former officers Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng. In a turnabout, Kueng will plead guilty to aiding and abetting the manslaughter of Floyd.
J. Alexander Kueng was sentenced to three years and Tou Thao got 3 1/2 years — penalties that a judge said reflected their level of culpability in a case that sparked worldwide protests.
