OFF TOPIC: Justice served: 4 teens who killed a man given suspended sentences. Justice served: 4 teens who killed a man given suspended sentences. Four teens who dropped a sandbag onto a freeway, killing a man, were given suspended sentences. My guess is that the the teens were too young to understand why the man died, so the judge, instead of sending them to juvenile jail, said: "You're good guys. Don't do this again. Right?" And justice has been served. However, the 4 teens apologized in court to the victim's family. So everyone should be happy, now that the 4 teens have apologized. -------- -------- Good Morning America Ohio teens given suspended sentence for dropping sandbag off overpass that killed man Good Morning America MARK OSBORNE,Good Morning America 5 hours ago The four Ohio teens who pleaded guilty to dropping a sandbag off a freeway overpass that killed a 22-year-old man were given a suspended sentence and ordered to a treatment center on Friday. Marquis Byrd was the passenger in a vehicle that was hit by the sandbag dropped onto Interstate 75 in Toledo last December. Byrd was left in critical condition and died three days later in the hospital. The four teens, all aged 13 or 14, pleaded guilty to either murder or manslaughter. The boy who dropped the sandbag pleaded guilty to murder while the other three pleaded to involuntary manslaughter, the Toledo Blade reported. The teen who pleaded guilty to murder was sentenced to the Department of Youth Services until he turns 21, while the teens who pleaded guilty to manslaughter were sentenced to three years in the Department of Youth Services. All four sentences were suspended by the judge in favor of being sent to Toledo's Lucas County Youth Treatment Center. "It's a treatment facility, for certain services, to provide so these boys change their behavior and can become productive members of our community," Judge Denise Navarre Cubbon said. Ohio teens now charged with murder for allegedly killing motorist with sandbag dropped from overpass Overpass death highlights dangers from above for motorists and pedestrians Lillian Diallo, the lawyer for Marquis Byrd's family, called the decision to suspend the teens' sentences in connection with dropping a sandbag on a vehicle 'outrageous.' (WTVG) The decision to suspend the teens' sentences and send them to the treatment facility drew outrage from Lillian Diallo, the Byrd family's lawyer, who called the decision "outrageous." "Suspended what? If you do what? So eight months you get to go home?" Diallo told Toledo ABC station WTVG outside the courtroom following the sentencing. "This child will never be at home. His son will never see him. His mother will never be able to say, 'Hey son, how are you? How's your day?' Touch his face, see his face. This is outrageous." There were 30 letters written on behalf of Byrd, asking for a strong punishment for the boys. The four convicted teens apologized in court to the victim's family. "I pray for him and his family every single day and night and cannot imagine what they are going through and how they feel right now," one of the boys said Friday, reading from a letter. Lucas County Juvenile Court Judge Denise Navarre Cubbon gave the four teens who dropped a sandbag on a car a suspended sentence on Friday, March 6, 2018. (WTVG) The four teens initially pleaded not guilty to the charges of murder and vehicular vandalism, the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office said. "Let me tell you something -- at the age of 10 you know if you take something and put it in a moving lane of traffic, you should know what the consequence will be," Diallo said. "You didn't take the sandbag and throw it on the side. You took that sandbag and you threw it down there to that boy's death." Diallo, who knew Byrd, told ABC News in January that Byrd, a father to a 2-year-old boy, was planning a surprise proposal for his girlfriend, the mother of his child. | |

My guess is that the guilty teen who read an apology from a letter had help writing the letter (maybe from his lawyer). And that the judge was so moved by the letter, that the judge felt the poor teen, who helped kill a man, was a really nice kid. Who made a mistake. Or maybe the kid was having a bit of fun when the sandbag was dropped on a car passing underneath. So what if a man died? Did it spoil the fun the 4 teens were having? Did the judge at least tell the boys not to drop any more sand bags or rocks onto cars? Or was that lesson to be passed onto the police department, if the boys are caught playing such games in the future? "The teen who pleaded guilty to murder was sentenced to the Department of Youth Services until he turns 21, while the teens who pleaded guilty to manslaughter were sentenced to three years in the Department of Youth Services." 3 years for manslaughter (killing a man). 5-7 years in juvie for murder (killing a man). Sentence suspend for all. That's the kind of judge I want at my next trial. | |

A teenager (he was 15 at the time of the crime, now 19 years old) sentenced to 65 years in prison. His crime? Part of a group of teens who committed burglary. But his problem: A cop shot and killed one of the burglars. So the teen, by state law, was found guilty of murder, since a cop shot and killed one of the burglars. The murder rap, plus the burglary rap, plus 2 more sentences of 10 years each for theft, adds up to 65 years in prison. Moral of the story: stay out of Alabama if you want to commit burglary. 65 years, because a cop kills a burglar? That makes as much sense as 4 teens getting a suspended sentence because they killed a man for thrills (throwing a sandbag onto a freeway while cars are going by, and a man dies from the thrown sandbag.) ------ ------ U.S. Teen Gets Decades In Prison For ‘Murder’ Of Someone Killed By A Cop HuffPost Hilary Hanson,HuffPost 3 hours ago A judge on Thursday sentenced an Alabama teenager to 65 years in prison for a series of crimes, including murder, even though a police officer was the one who actually killed the victim. Lakeith Smith, now 18, was convicted under the state’s accomplice liability law in March. Based on that law, a person can be convicted of murder if they were committing a crime with the deceased that led to the other person’s death, according to the Montgomery Advertiser. In Smith’s case, he was involved in burglaries alongside A’Donte Washington, 16, when a police officer shot and killed Washington in 2015. In February 2015, both Smith and Washington were part of a group of five who broke into two houses in Millbrook, Alabama, the Advertiser reports. When police responded to the scene, the two sides exchanged gunfire. Body camera footage played in court showed Washington running towards an officer pointing a gun at him. The officer then shot and killed Washington. Circuit Judge Sibley Reynolds sentenced Smith to 65 years in prison on Thursday — 30 years for a felony murder, 15 for burglary and two 10-year sentences for theft. “The officer shot A’donte, not Lakeith Smith,” said Smith’s attorney Jennifer Holton during the trial, as per USA Today. “Lakeith was a 15-year-old child, scared to death. He did not participate in the act that caused the death of A’donte. He never shot anybody.” Though Smith was a minor when the incident took place, he was tried as an adult. In March, Smith declined a plea deal that would have sentenced him to 25 years in prison; he was convicted later that month. The other three defendants involved in the burglaries have all entered guilty pleas, Fox 8 Live reports. One has been sentenced to 28 years in prison, while the other two have not yet been sentenced. And as for the Millbrook police officer who actually killed Washington? A grand jury cleared him of any wrongdoing back in 2016, saying he was justified in fatally shooting Washington, WSFA reported at the time. This article originally appeared on HuffPost. | |

Cop should be given a medal for protecting the public against a man who was jaywalking. Instead, the city will now have to give additional training to cops (to teach them when beating an unarmed civilian is the proper thing to do). The cop who beat the unarmed civilian will be a better cop after he receives training. Hopefully, the training will include martial arts on taking down suspects, using lethal force only when needed. Otherwise, the city of Sacramento might have to pay more than $550,000 in lawsuits. ------------ ------------ After Man Beaten by Officer, Sacramento Agrees to Police Policy Changes in Settlement Posted 4:42 PM, April 6, 2018, by Joe Khalil, Updated at 10:37AM, April 7, 2018 SACRAMENTO -- The City of Sacramento and the Sacramento Police Department agreed to more training and some policy changes in a settlement about a man who was beaten by an officer a year ago, the man's attorney said. Video of Officer Anthony Figueroa, who is white, tackling Nandi Cain, who is black, to the ground and punching him repeatedly quickly went viral and brought national attention to the city. Figueroa had stopped Cain for jaywalking. According to a statement from Cain's attorney, Cain will receive a $550,000 payout. On top of that, Councilman Allen Warren confirmed to FOX40 that the City of Sacramento agreed to policy changes within the police department. "The settlement was appropriate," Warren said. "I think clearly the young man was not doing anything inappropriate." The changes include new implicit bias training and a cultural immersion program for the whole department. Both are meant to help officers address people who come from a different ethnic background than they do. Officer Figueroa won't be allowed to return to duty in Del Paso Heights until he finishes both of those training programs. "I do believe he’ll probably be a better police officer as a result of this process," Warren told FOX40. Cain's attorney, John Burris, maintains Officer Figueroa was at fault -- that his client never jaywalked and was actually targeted by the officer. "He escalated the situation when he should have deescalated," Burris said. Still, Burris is hopeful about the direction of the Sacramento Police Department, especially after changes prompted by Cain's settlement. "It brings forth an attempt to bring about positive reforms that could have the impact of preventing this kind of conduct from occurring in the future," Burris told FOX40. Neither the city manager's office or the police department would comment on the settlement until it was officially signed. | |
