About time one of these clear as day cases went the right way. RIP to the victim and to that murderous cop

I read this morning, I think that's a good outcome, AUSA was asking for life in prison, and the judge disagreed. This case was actually picked up federally after a state level mistrial.

That's why they got a conviction... Why can't these states govern/judge themselves properly??

That's a start

He'll do five years tops, and isn't this the same prison Dylann Roof is in?

Good. Took a lot to make it happen, but it happened.

Wait so he got convicted on civil rights charges and not for murder?

Unless there was a successful appeal, or reduction in sentence, he'll do about 17.5 years or so.

How many years before he's up for parole?

Trump will pardon him.

Trump will pardon him.

It's a federal offense so that is totally possible

I’m assuming this case got picked up by Obama’s DA, correct?
