I'm surprised he got the max sentence after pleading guilty. I always thought they made a deal with you if you pled.

Doesn't sound like a case of stupid, in light of this:

It sounds premeditated. Sounds like a cop who had a problem with women, in general. But the lady cop was dumb to participate.

Shot himself in the foot with the guilty plea, I guess.

The cop who shot and killed his fellow cop is alleged in a civil lawsuit to have forced other females to “play” Russian Roulette. I could find nothing that substantiates that allegation, although it obviously could be true.

The sentence was a plea deal. He will be serving two sentences concurrently.

I am only guessing, but I think this guy might have some sort of suicidal ideation,

The other cop who was there has not been charged. I have no idea if he was disciplined.

Well at least one trigger happy cop is off the streets, so he won't be shooting any unarmed citizens.

I believe the article is wrong. It was previously reported that the maximum he could have gotten was 10 years. So he got a three year reduction. Anyway, I'm betting that part of the plea deal was that he would serve the time in protective custody. Which is the most important thing for convicted cops.

Yeah, protective custody is worth a plea!

This.

The ideal cop is someone who can't do any other kind of work. They tend to stay on the job longer, because they have no alternative.
