Emotions were high Wednesday afternoon after a Moore police officer who fatally hit a Moore High School senior in 2019 was sentenced in Cleveland County District Court.
After hearing arguments from both sides and statements from victim Emily Gainesâ mother and Officer Kyle Ray Lloyd, District Judge Jeff Virgin sentenced Lloyd to 18 years in prison, with nine years suspended. The sentence means Lloyd will serve nine years on probation.
Lloyd, 36, was charged Jan. 2 and later pled guilty to first-degree manslaughter.
Separate supporters for Gaines and Lloyd filled the courtroom Wednesday. Most of Gainesâ family and friends wore yellow, one of Gainesâ favorite colors.

Cleveland County District Court will begin a new set of jury trials April 12, including a death penalty case involving a Texas man.
Joseph Fidel Alliniece, 32, of Missouri City, Texas, will stand before a jury in District Judge Lori Walkleyâs courtroom following the 2018 death of Norman resident Brittani Young, 27.
According to a Norman police affidavit, officers found Young on April 24, 2018, dead inside her Emerald Greens Apartments residence. Police believe Alliniece stomped her to death.
Alliniece also faces two counts of kidnapping and one count of robbery by force or fear â all felonies â because one of Youngâs friends and the friendâs 2-year-old daughter were inside the apartment and witnessed the alleged murder.
