A jury acquitted the cop. A jury also acquitted O.J. Simpson.
Does that mean O.J. is innocent?
Most people believe O.J. killed his wife and her friend, but the jury felt there was reasonable doubt.
The same goes here. Just because the cop was acquitted by a jury does not make him truly innocent. Only God knows what the truth is -- what was in the shooter's mind.
The cop probably had a better attorney than the prosecuting attorney.
I assume there will be a civil case?
The cop was let go by the department. That sends a message that there was at least some wrong doing on the part of the cop.
The question I have is why didn't the cops call for more backup? If they feared another shooter was in the room wouldn't they want a SWAT team to help out?
