While it may not serve justice, this will result in a conviction and as sad as it is to hear, the biggest burden on the city here is the civil part, which has bene settled. It completely sucks that in essence the outcome is paying off her family for her life, which no amount of money adequately covers, with the idiot responsible getting what amounts to a trivial prison sentence.

It was never a win win for the family

If this was a gang member who murdered her, they would throw every single charge they could find. Driving with a broken taillight, anything.

It's pretty clear that someone lied on the warrant which is perjury. That multiple officers fired their weapon recklessly. The government can railroad people on charges when they want to. They just don't want to when it is a white cop killing a black woman.
