MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A former Minneapolis police officer has pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter in the killing of George Floyd just as jury selection was about to begin. J. Alexander Kueng on Monday agreed to a deal that calls for 3 1/2 years in prison, with prosecutors agreeing to drop a count of aiding and abetting second-degree murder. He’s the second officer to plead guilty to the state charge, following Thomas Lane, who pleaded guilty earlier this year. A third former officer, Tou Thao, rejected a plea deal earlier this year. He stuck to that Monday but agreed to waive a jury trial and accept stipulated evidence that will eventually have the judge decide his guilt or innocence.
