Thomas Lane, one of the four former Minneapolis police officers convicted in connection with the killing of George Floyd, was released from federal prison Tuesday, a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told CNN.
Lane, 41, was found guilty in 2022 of violating Floyd’s civil rights when he was fatally restrained by officers on May 25, 2020. Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was handcuffed and restrained while lying on his stomach for more than nine minutes, even as he told the officers “I can’t breathe.”
