Tou Thao sentenced to over 4 years for his role in George Floyd's killing

The fourth and final former Minneapolis police officer charged for his role in George Floyd's murder was sentenced in court on Monday.

Tou Thao was sentenced to 57 months (4.75 years) in prison with credit for 340 days served on Monday, just three months after he was found guilty of aiding and abetting manslaughter of Floyd's death. Judge Peter Cahill shared his frustration with Thao, giving him a longer sentence than the 51 months prosecutors requested.

"I was hoping for a little more remorse, regret, acknowledgment of some responsibility. And less preaching," Cahill said to Thao during sentencing.
