Police department left in 'shock' after jury convicts officer of murdering an armed suicidal man

McMurray said his officers were “in the first stages of shock” after hearing the verdict.
“While we thank the jury for their service in this difficult case, I do not believe Officer Darby is a murderer,” he said. “Officers are forced to make split-second decisions every day, and Officer Darby believed his life and the lives of other officers were in danger. Any situation that involves a loss of life is tragic. Our hearts go out to everyone involved.”
Battle similarly said he disagreed with the jury’s verdict and pointed to Darby’s legal option to appeal it.
“Fortunately, Officer Darby has the same appeal rights as any other citizen and is entitled to exercise those rights,” he said.
