Sad day for America today. The jury got this WRONG!

I believe her when she says it was a mistake. Having said this, she took a life so there is a price to pay. You don't get to walk away when you take a innocent persons life. If any of you were to kill a cop by mistake you would be facing a hell of alot more than 7 years. Accountable seems to be foreign word to many here.

So incompetent that she was allowed to remain a police officer for 26 years.

Disappointing verdict. I don't think this was a case that should have been charged.

This was not a malicious or intentional act. She is not a threat to society that we need to be separated from.

I don't believe that for a second. Sounds like your content with a lower one.

Yes. Big mistake.
That department needs to be reviewed for letting that happen.

What? For the many complaints that she had over her career?

No was no gentlemen.

She clearly was not competent.
If no one complained than that’s a problem.
