I remember this case. This officer tried to plant evidence. He picked up a taser which was dozens of feet away, walked it over to the victim and dropped it next to his body.

That's an open-and-shut case of evidence tampering and obstruction of justice, in addition to any other crimes the officer is guilty of.

Hopefully, the sentence imposed will be significant—perhaps even life—because this was a murder, and there must be accountability when the police do such things.

This (former) officer has now pleaded guilty to depriving a person of their rights under color of law—an act of overt Tyranny—and he should be punished accordingly.

It's a tragic outcome, but one which must be faced by anyone who chooses this profession. I expect at least a 15 year sentence, and likely more...

I don’t think it was an attempt to plant evidence. Should a weapon have been left unattended?

He may have violated procedure, but he did not plant evidence.

He won’t last a year in prison.
