5 years plus time served for murder of a police officer and 25 years for attempted murder. It appears as if this judges respect for law enforcement officer is nonexistent.
But the best that could have been achieved on the reckless homicide of the police officer was 6 years…that’s the crime for which the defendant was convicted. Complain about the jury, not the judge. Attempted murder of the girlfriend had the higher sentence.
It had nothing to do with Judge Stoner’s respect for law enforcement. It had everything with how the laws are written by the legislature. Which is, as the article discusses, the focus of the effort by Rep. Gore. The judicial selection process is just noise…
Criticizing the judge is the easy, ignorant, thing to do. Changing the law so that an attack on or murder of a police officer always carries a significant penalty is the solution.
Remember: if you change the penalty for reckless homicide from 6 to any thing longer, and you kill a person in a fight, or otherwise in the heat of passion in a situation (like, you get mad at your spouse and push them to the ground and they hit their head and die, or they fall down stairs and break their neck) you’ll do the longer time. RIght now, involuntary homicide carries a similar maximum to involuntary manslaughter (the charge in drunk or impaired driving cases).
Remember to be careful what you ask for, and not let one incident shape public policy. In the immortal words of Justice Holmes: Hard cases make bad laws.
