woman cop who killed neighbor gets cozy with judge after her minimal sentence.....judge gives her a hug and a bible and encouraging words.....should have given her A MEANINGFUL SENTENCE not just token time...but...move on ..nothing to see here...

The sentence was determined by the jury, not the judge.

But agree- she murdered someone in their own home.

judges almost always determine a sentence...jury can find innocent or guilty but the judge sets the conditions of the finding

Im not a lawyer but in this case it mist certainly was the jury, not the judge who handed down tthe sentence.
You can look it up all over the place.

The jury apparently saw some mitigating factors. It was a unanimous decision by the jury on the sentence.

So now that the #1 witness against the officer is shot dead dealing drugs .......
Do you think his credibility would be called into question being a black drug dealer who would most likely LIE against a PD officer like they almost ALWAYS do?
