A 2000 dollar fine and 2 years probation. She was fired but is appealing that.

It’s probably wrong to generalize about such a huge state, but Texas seems to actually be punishing some bad cops and prosecutors lately.

Helleson was subsequently fired but is appealing.SMART-*SS RESPONSE: No, she's not appealing at all.
SERIOUS RESPONSE: She's convicted of official oppression but could still keep her job? What the **** does it take to lose a LEO license in Texas?!

Don’t know if official oppression is a felony, or not, but it still has an effect on her ability to hold a law enforcement position. Derogatory background information is a juicy target for defense lawyers.

In a cop-related website, Jim Glenning, a career cop and owner of the Street Survival Seminar, defended the actions of cops in an Albuquerque shooting, and used that one defense as a basis to conclude that the perception of cops as abusive or as killers was totally false.
He was asked to review all such reported abusive incidents in the last few years, and then draw a conclusion.
He is invited to add this to his review, if he ever decides to do it.
