It's a shame the sentence won't be carried out as swiftly as the trial.

Too bad they don’t have hanging. This one cries out for a hanging.

BTW, anyone know what happened to the policeman (I presume) who killed two other policemen (dogs we are told are also policemen) by locking them in a car until they died?

Happened last week.

Exactly. Hope the people in Arkansas won’t have to house and feed this monster for too long.

Here's the sorry SOB

From the "Crime and Punishment" blog:

The traffic stop involved a 2002 Hyundai driven by Brian Keith Elumbaugh of Trumann. There were three other individuals in the car. The stop was made based on a license check by Officer Schmidt which indicated the vehicle was not covered by liability insurance.

A back-up officer, Corey Overstreet, 41, arrived within minutes of the stop as a matter of routine. Both squad car cameras were on. Officer Schmidt was removing the driver from the vehicle. After removing the driver and left rear seat passenger, Officer Schmidt moved to the right rear seat passenger, Jerry Lard of Trumann, 37, and opened the door. Lard was armed with a handgun and fired on Officer Schmidt.

Oh well, caught a MAJOR criminal-driving without insurance-and it only cost one cop.

Why was the shooter, who was NOT DRIVING, removed from the vehicle? Is it now against the law to RIDE in an uninsured auto?

Someday the cops will catch on that the laws they enforce are not worth their lives.

Maybe Hucabee will get reelected Gov. and pardon him.

The shameful part of this post is that we Freepers have a very vocal minority that is overjoyed reading about a dead (jackbooted)police officer.

Lard was convicted Thursday for the murder of Schmidt on April 12, 2011. Schmidt pulled over a vehicle with four occupants at the Cottonwood Manor Apartments. Jerry Lard jumped out of the car firing a .25 caliber handgun at Schmidt and Sgt. Corey Overstreet. The first shot hit Schmidt in the face. Lard was injured after Overstreet returned fire. Prosecutors testified in court the fourth, fatal gunshot wound to Schmidt was from a .40 caliber handgun. Schmidt carried a .40 caliber while on police duty.
