A former police officer of Minneapolis in Minnesota state of the US on Monday pleaded guilty in the death of African American man George Floyd.
J. Alexander Kueng, 29, pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting in manslaughter after prosecutors and Kueng’s defence attorney agreed to recommend a sentence of 42 months in prison, Xinhua news agency reported.
Kueng is the second to plead guilty to the state charge, following his former colleague Thomas Lane, who pleaded guilty earlier this year.
A third former officer, Tou Thao, previously rejected a plea deal and agreed on Monday to go forward with a trial by stipulated evidence on one count of aiding and abetting manslaughter.
