Eyewitness news corner stefan kane joins us now. Reporter not only will peter liang not head to prison, but six months of house arrest that d. A.

The judge says there is no evidence that the defendant was aware of akai gurleys presence in that darkened stairwell that night when he fired off that shot that killed the unarmed man. D. A. Thompson had recommended no jail time and six months house arrest along with five years probation.

He is sentenced to 800 hours of Community Service with five years probation. He turned towards the gurley family and his loved ones as he delivered this statement. I dont have any words.
