A Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's back plead guilty on charges of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter will be sentenced Friday.
Kueng, 29, had pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting in second-degree manslaughter in October as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
The plea was announced just as a joint state trial for Kueng and Tou Thao, another officer, was to begin with jury selection. Both Kueng and Thao, 34, are currently serving federal sentences after being convicted in February on federal charges of violating Floyd's civil rights.
