Former Black Panther leader Marshall "Eddie" Conway walked free Tuesday after spending four decades behind bars for killing a Baltimore police officer making his one of the highest-profile cases affected by a high court decision that has cut short prison sentences for dozens of felons in recent years.
...
Sager's son, who was 7 at the time of his father's death, said he was devastated. David Sager said he was warned of the outcome more than a month ago
...
"My mother passed away two years ago, and in a way I'm glad that she's not around to see this," he said. "This is a very sad day. I think this is another tragedy on our justice system, one of a string of tragedies."
Police union officials said they were troubled by the release. Gene Ryan, vice president of the city's Fraternal Order of Police lodge, said it was "difficult" to learn that Conway would not serve out his life in prison.
He blamed the appellate courts for creating the circumstances that have led to Conway and others winning release.
Since the 2012 ruling by Maryland's highest court, dozens have fought their convictions and prosecutors have made deals to release many of them, opening old wounds for victims' families.

Years ago my 18 year old niece was killed by a drunk driver.In the ER my brother said there was a guy sitting on a chair with a few minor scratches on his head.It was late at night so the ER was basically empty except for my brother,the guy on the bench and a few others.My brother said that as he looked at the guy it occurred to him that it could have been the drunk driver who caused the accident.He said that he was tempted to kill the guy but didn't because he wasn't sure if he was the one.He learned a few days later that it *was* the one.
If I was the son of the murdered cop I'd.......

I’d bet he will become a hero to some group of people.
And of course, he will make a lot of money.

Maryland is the new Massachusetts. So sad. Other than Baltimore and the area surrounding D.C. It is a very nice state.

Hey, I’m as critical of the police as the next guy, but I’m certainly not celebrating the release of this man, or what he did.
