J. Alexander Kueng pleaded guilty in October to a state count of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.
In exchange, a charge of aiding and abetting murder was dropped. Kueng is already serving a federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights, and the state and federal sentence will be served at the same time.
As part of his plea agreement, Kueng admitted that he held Floyd’s torso, that he knew from his experience and training that restraining a handcuffed person in a prone position created a substantial risk, and that the restraint of Floyd was unreasonable under the circumstances. Kueng’s sentencing brings the cases against all of the former officers a step closer to resolution, though the state case against Thao is still pending.
