Closing arguments have ended in the Lakeland man's trial of killing a Lakeland police officer in December 2011, and jurors will begin deliberations shortly.
Kyle Williams, 21, is accused in the shooting death of Arnulfo Crispin in a park on Crystal Grove Lane. If convicted of first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, he faces the death penalty.

TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; US: Florida
KEYWORDS: justice
I don't know if Kyle Williams is the actual cop killer. I wasn't present during the trial. I don't have any special local insider information. There is absolutely no doubt at all that one of the five black teenaged individuals involved in the confrontation in a park area with a local police officer, murdered Officer Crispin. They other four involved ran one way, he ran another.
The other four had bad local reputations and documented criminal histories, from what I understand.
I guess we find out tomorrow or the next day about the official jury verdict. The murder of Officer Crispin was committed in December of 2011.

Thanks for the reminder of why cops interact with suspects in the way that they do.

BTW-I have heard no indication that Obama, Holder, Sharpton, Crump,Jackson, CNN, MSNBC, any drive-by media or any element of the DNC is covering this case, at all.
Can somebody ping someone protesting injustice in Ferguson and ask them for their input here?

Yes. Officer was patting these thugs down for weapons and he spun and shot him in the head killing him instantly. They found the murder weapon hidden close to where he was taken into custody. It was hidden fairly well but not well enough. Hope the jury gets it right.

Just remember there are those here at FR that think the police deserve whatever they get because they are the bad guys

If convicted of first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, he faces the death penalty.Why should killing a cop be more heinous than killing a carpenter, or an ironworker, or electrician.
Sure there are inherent dangers in the job, but no one forced him(her) to take the job. How does that make them special? Inquiring minds want to know....

Florida is a state that has the death penalty as a potential punishment.
A first-degree murder charge automatically opens up the potential of a death penalty outcome, it does not depend upon the victims “job” at all, and is at the discretion of the prosecution.
