One of the police officers charged for the murder of George Floyd released on $750,000 bail

Thomas Lane, one of the police officers charged with the death of George Floyd paid his bail and was let out of prison last night.

The 37-year-old cop who was held on a $750,000 bail, was released on Wednesday from Hennepin County Jail, according to a statement from the Official spokesman of the County’s sheriff office.

A fundraising page that was set up for him has since been closed. The page received money through PayPal donations while saying that Lane’s bail amount was unfairly high and adding that he “did everything he could” to save Floyd’s.

Lane’s lawyer,  Mr. Earl Gray, confirmed that the page was legitimate, but he wasn’t aware of how much money it had managed to raise for his client or who set it up in the first place.

The statement read,

Lane and his family appreciate your support and prayers during this time.
