Cooperation definitely helped in painting the whole picture. It is our politicians that need to change the laws. They are the perps. 5 years without parole with cooperation is fair. Everyone deserves a second chance but this drug war needs to stop! If we want mercy for drug offenders then we must ask for mercy for these police officers.

Mrs. Johnston was hit five times out of 39 bullets, so I have to assume at least one bullet from each officer must've hit her. If they did forensics and found that only one or two of the three actually shot her, then I think the charges would have been different. That said, anyone else worried that the police can only hit a 92-year-old suspect about one out of eight shots? Right.
