...and didnt feel like epsnding half the night making out reports of a shooting

I think that is the major reason given for why these two were convicted. My understanding is if you fire your weapon you are required to spend the rest of the night filling out a report. That said, seems to me like 10 and 12 year sentences are a bit steep. Administrative leave with pay would have been more appropriate based on what I've read about this case.

A BIT? You say just a BIT? You must be joking.

The punishment these men should have gotten is arguable. Anything from Suspension, Suspension without pay. Dismissal. Any of these were optional. 15 years in jail is Bull excrement. The prosecutor is a definite butthole,bringing a criminal in to testify and granting total immunity is reprehensible. The whole case reeks.

I am not in any way saying these men should no face job action. I AM saying jail time is ridiculous.
