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.
