A former Minneapolis Police Department officer pleaded guilty Monday to state charges of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter for his role in the death of George Floyd in 2020. Alexander Kueng entered his plea just as jury selection in the trial was set to begin. Kueng could face 3 1/2 years in prison under sentencing guidelines for the aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. Prosecutors had dropped an aiding and abetting second-degree murder charge that called for more than 12 years in prison, according to The Associated Press.
