News summary

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, has been transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution in Big Spring, Texas, after surviving a stabbing incident in prison nine months ago. Chauvin, 47, is serving a 22½-year state sentence for second-degree murder alongside a concurrent 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights. The transfer follows an attack in which he was stabbed 22 times by a fellow inmate, leading to criminal charges against the assailant. Additionally, former officer Thomas Lane, who was convicted of aiding and abetting manslaughter in Floyd's death, was released from federal prison in Colorado after serving a three-year sentence. Lane admitted to intentionally restraining Floyd in a manner that he knew posed an unreasonable risk to Floyd’s life. Meanwhile, fellow former officers J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao remain incarcerated and are set to be released in 2025.
