Thomas Lane, one of four Minneapolis police officers convicted of killing George Floyd more than four years ago, was released Tuesday from federal prison.

Lane, 41, completed the federal portion of his prison time in April. He then stayed in custody to satisfy his state sentence in Hennepin County District Court, for aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
Another year of supervised release will follow before he satisfies the terms of his state sentence, a BOP spokesperson said. He is the first of the four officers implicated in Floyds death to be released from prison.
Lane twice asked whether the officers should reposition Floyd and later attempted CPR after paramedics loaded Floyd into an ambulance, but prosecutors argued that he did not do enough to aid Floyd.
