A violent criminal who tried to murder a Florida cop has been sentenced to life in prison after shooting the officer four times.
Now, video footage from inside the courtroom has gone viral after the cop showed up to deliver a special "going away gift" for the smug thug.
Kevin Rojas was just 19 years old when he tried to kill an undercover Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office officer who was in his car with his teenage son. When the off-duty officer, who was taking his son to school, saw Rojas driving erratically, the cop decided to make a traffic stop. Rojas got out of his car and shot through the windshield of the officer’s vehicle, striking him four times. Luckily, the officer’s teenage son was unhurt in the incident. The officer, however, was struck in the face, stomach, and hand.
The wounded police officer, even after taking a bullet to the head, managed to fire back as Rojas ran away. The thug stole a truck and raced back to his neighborhood, barricading himself inside his home after crashing the truck at a neighbor’s house. Rojas was shot multiple times through a glass door, hit in the torso, leg, and hand, after police officers said he wouldn’t drop his gun, according to Daily Mail.
Attempted cop-killer Kevin Rojas
A smug and smiling Rojas was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of attempted first-degree murder, attempted manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, grand theft auto, and fleeing. Circuit Judge James Daniel sentenced him to the maximum prison sentence for each of the crimes he committed. So, Rojas not only received life in prison but also three 15-year sentences for the lesser charges.

As you sit there judging and condemning almost everyone on this thread.
Physician, heal thyself.
the article sated that the undercover cop was taking his son to school at the time of the traffic stop... per freeper tradition no one reads anything below the headline and just knee jerks their comments.. JMHO
The attempted murderer earned his trip to prison, no doubt.
IMO, the cop made a very poor decision, for several reasons. The "erratic driving" would have to be really bad, and really close to pedestrians, to justify going after him like that. Otherwise ... call it in and get on-duty uniforms in marked cars to deal with it.
He will soon find out where the phrase ‘a stretch in prison’ came from.

Exactly my point. If he really was undercover, which I doubt. Then he messed up even more. Compromises his cover, his kid, and puts kid in danger for traffic stop. Undercover cops dont roll up on someone with their family. Stupid.
“organ recipient”... ‘a stretch in prison’...
You’re hittin’ on all 8 today... I feel like I oughta tip the waitress or something. ;-)
Try the veal...
Sodomy is always wrong, but I’m glad they caught the criminal.

Barbara : [whistles] Nice butt. That’s what they’ll say.
Ken Kessler : I beg your pardon?
Barbara : Nice butt. That’s what they’ll say on your first day, in the men’s club.
Ken Kessler : The men’s club?
Barbara : Mmm. The San Quentin Country Club. With a cute little rear end like that, you’ll be the belle of the ball. Your dance card’ll be filled every day. You’ll be so popular, making all kinds of new, close friends. Big, ugly, hairy friends! Not that you’ll ever see what they look like, ‘cause you’ll be facing the other way.
Ken Kessler : You’re very good at this. You should write children’s books.

He’ll pay for his crimes in the end...
I hope they split him wide open in prison…
If you are going to risk your kid getting smoked you should train him and arm him beforehand.
He is judged by his actions.
i thought it was strange too, cop should have just let it go and take his kid to school.
Our society should not condone extrajudicial punishment, which is what this is.
Condoning the rape of prisoners in prison is simply wrong.
I wish we had Japanese prison here.
Capitol offenses executed.
All others in private cells, alone.
