J. Alexander Keung (L) & Tou Thao (R)
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The last two former Minneapolis police officers who have yet to be sentenced for violating George Floyd’s civil rights are scheduled to learn their penalties Wednesday.
Federal prosecutors have requested that the judge sentence J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao to less time than Derek Chauvin but more than Thomas lane. Chauvin got 21 years, while Lane who got 2 1/2. The defense got a victory last week when the judge issued a ruling that will result in a substantially lower sentence than the men might have otherwise faced. Once their sentences are known, it could renew discussions of a plea deal in state court, where the men are charged with aiding and abetting both murder and manslaughter.
