The murder of George Floyd

Explainer: Not unusual for ex-cop to report later for prison

George Floyd Officers Explainer Prison
Former Minneapolis police officer Thomas Lane, left, arrives with his attorney Earl Gray at the Hennepin County Family Justice Center Sept. 11, for a hearing in the cases against the four former police officers charged in the death of George Floyd, in Minneapolis. The federal judge who sentenced Lane to 2 1/2 years in prison on a civil rights charge in the killing of George Floyd says Lane won't have to surrender until after his sentencing in a separate case in two months. Legal experts say that's not unusual, even in an emotionally charged case like this.
