I’m really torn on this case. When a community entrusts a person to carry a badge and a gun, it seems to me that unfortunate stuff like this happens. Obviously, this guy should have never been a cop. As far as I can see, the officer did not go out intending to kill anybody that night. This is a tough case for a judge. He seems more negligent than criminal.
“He seems more negligent than criminal.“
Negligence which results in the death of person is by definition criminal. It’s called “negligent homicide”. Look it up.

Negligent??? Shooting his firearm across his partner from inside the vehicle at a person who was obviously female and showing no weapon or criminal intent???
he may not have went out that night intending to kill someone, but he sure as hell intended to kill that girl when he saw her....
