In his 83-page decision, Judge Josiah Wood said that while satisfied Pompeo believed it was necessary to shoot Gillespie, the officer’s belief was not based on reasonable grounds, but instead on fear-induced stress.
Sentencing had been slated for June, but delays pushed it to the end of October. Sentencing wrapped up on Dec. 5.
"the officers belief was not based on reasonable grounds, but instead on fear-induced stress" and this man gets to keep his gun and resume his police career. Whoa!
