The former Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on George Floyd’s back and restrained him was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison.

Kueng kneeled on the handcuffed Floyd’s back and restrained him while former officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for nine-and-a-half minutes, resulting in the death of the 46-year-old Floyd.that the federal and state prison sentences against Kueng will run concurrently, and with time served already factored in, he could be released within two-and-a-half years.

George Floyd’s legal team said in a statement Friday following Kueng’s sentencing, “The sentencing of Alexander Kueng for his role in the murder of George Floyd delivers yet another piece of justice for the Floyd family. While the family faces yet another holiday season without George, we hope that moments like these continue to bring them a measure of peace, knowing that George’s death was not in vain.
