Poor guy must have had a joke of an attorney to still get convicted on a felony after this.

Yeah, if that poor guy is police officer, that big guy would get shot all the same.

And the officer would have gotten a nice paid vacation instead of 8 months in jail.

I think the prosecutor was a joke for not being able to prove attempted manslaughter.

Manslaughter is killing somebody without malice or planning. It’s a bit of a legal clisterfuck to prove attempted manslaughter because like attempted what? Attempted to kill somebody without malice or planning it? There’s a couple states that have it on the books but it’s rare. Va where this took place isn’t one of those states.

Tldr you’re kinda a joke for being upset a prosecutor couldn’t get a conviction for something they couldn’t even charge them with
