A former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed woman after she called 911 to report hearing a possible rape happening behind her home will be sentenced on a lesser charge Thursday after his murder conviction was overturned in a case that drew global attention and was fraught with the issue of race.

Mohamed Noor was initially convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter in the July 2017 fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old dual U.S.-Australian citizen and yoga teacher who was engaged to be married.

Noor testified at his 2019 trial that he and his partner were driving slowly in an alley when a loud bang on his police SUV made him fear for their lives. He said he saw a woman appear at the partner's window and raise her right arm before he fired a shot from the passenger seat to stop what he thought was a threat.

He was sentenced to 12 1/2 years on the murder count and had been serving most of his time at an out-of-state facility. But last month, the Minnesota Supreme Court tossed out Noor's murder conviction and sentence, saying the third-degree murder statute didn't fit the facts of the case.

The way Minnesota judges have been releasing violent felons recently, my prediction is time served.

We shall see tomorrow.

Justine Damond ping list.

This is justice. This story is absolutely heartbreaking. Her memory merits justice. She was unarmed and not a threat. Again this was Minneapolis, a place in need of some serious police training. As Rudy commented, when he was NYC Mayor, he insisted a senior experienced LEO be on the scene of any disturbance so that the young LEOs would learn properly how to handle different situations.

Shoots her past his partner who was the driver and talking with her.

Think Chauvin will get another bite at the apple?

IMHO, Noor needs to be the recipient of true justice..

[mrmeyer]

Justice? This is what checking a box gets you when demographics outweigh competency in hiring.

[cherry]

so he shots across his partners body at a woman in pj's and he'll get less time then a cop holding perp down who was dying of a fentanyl overdose?....

nice country....

if you don't get the result you want, you just find another judge.

His sergeants and training officers who signed false paperwork testifying to his capabilities need to be sentenced as well.

Mohamed Noor was too incompetent carry groceries much less a gun, badge, and radio, and they knew it.

a place in need of some serious police training

Narrative much?

[Zathras]

This pretend police officer violated about 10 basic firearms rules and should have never graduated officer training.
Try any of these things at a real training facility and you would be kicked off the range and banned for life.

All crimes now viewed through lens of what group or groups the victim belongs to and what group or groups the accused belongs to.

They need to tear down all those statues of Lady Justice blindfolded as that concept no longer applies.

[null and void]

The way Minnesota judges have been releasing violent felons recently, my prediction is time served.

Time served.
A formal apology.
His job as a cop restored.
...with back pay for time lost!

[taxcontrol]

I am confused. Was the conviction overturned? I thought the conviction stands but the court was ordered to re-sentance.

[Trillian]

He was fast tracked through that program. He never should have been a cop.

[Thank You Rush]

“”Think Chauvin will get another bite at the apple?””

What about the other two policemen who were going to be tried for that? Has that happened yet?

[EastTexasTraveler]

The only way he will get true justice is if he spends some more time in prison and some of the inmates administer it.

A former Somali Muslim policeman who fatally shot an unarmed woman without cause, after she called 911 to report hearing a possible rape, will be resentenced on a lesser charge Thursday.

The tribal Somali Muslims in MINN agitated so successfully, their fellow tribesman’s murder conviction was overturned.

Without regard for anyone but themselves, the Somali tribe.....a Third World in American democracy, have a godawful foothold on US soil....conniving and colluding to get a Somali Muslim in Congress.

[existentially_kuffer]

Nah... Just feed him pulled pork & bacon.

[T.B. Yoits]

White women in Minnesota learned cruel but valuable lesson; don’t call the police in Minnesota because they’ll send someone so incompetent that they’ll likely kill you.
