A jury in Tacoma has convicted the getaway driver in the Lakewood police killings with first-degree murder. The News Tribune reports the Pierce County jury did not find Dorcus Allen guilty of aggravated circumstances.
Prosecutors charged Allen with four counts of aggravated first-degree murder in the 2009 deaths of four Lakewood police officers.
Allen admits he drove Maurice Clemmons near the Forza coffee shop in the gunman's truck in November 2009. His defense argued he only drove Clemmons to a nearby car wash because Clemmons told the man he could borrow his truck that day to make some money.
Clemmons shot and killed Sgt. Mark Renninger and Officers Tina Griswold, Gregory Richards, and Ronald Owens in an ambush in 2009. Clemmons was shot and killed by a Seattle police officer two days after the murders.

Can’t wait to hear Common’s take on this one./s
Man....it was a strange couple of days after that shooting.
Now, they should indict Huckabee and send him to the big house for a spell.
