In prison. Why what he actually got was far less. This sentenced just handed down in the last few minutes. It is five years. Five years. A sickly, a judge said he felt the Police Officer had been punished enough, but five years is the mandatory minimum for a handgun conviction. He was convicted of firstdegree assault, use of a handgun, as well as misconduct as a Police Officer. A very interesting thing about this case, this was the second sentencing here that happened. They tried to do this back in september and at that proceeding, Sergeant Riley jumped up, violently charged at the two prosecutors, one of whom is nine months pregnant at the time, started screaming profanities and try to get at him. Todays hearing began with a chewing out essentially by a judge who said, can you behave . If so, we will take you out of your shackles. The sergeant said he could do that. The judge sentenced him to an additional 30 days in prison for that outburst. The victim in this case was a man named calvin. He has been shot by a pretty a Police Officer before. In 2009, he attempted a carjacking with an offduty officer. Multiple convictions. He is not talking publicly here today but i have gotten a statement from him. He says he is happy with his sentence. He says he wanted to leave it up to the judge and that no sense will get back his mobility. Is now paralyzed from the waist down. He accepted a settlement from the police department, but today, this was about the former sergeant and he is sentenced to prison, a mandatory five years without the opportunity for parole.
