New York DA: Zero Jail Time for NYPD Cop Convicted of Killing Unarmed Man, Letting Him Die
A New York DA just recommended zero jail time for convicted NYPD cop Peter Liang, who fatally shot a man, and texted his union rep as the victim died rather than render assistance.
Liang shot and killed Akai Gurley in the stairwell of a housing project while on “vertical patrol” in 2014 and was later convicted of manslaughter and official misconduct.
Liang faced 15 years in prison.
