Former NYPD Officer Peter Liang Gets Probation For Fatal Shooting

“A judge in New York City has sentenced former NYPD officer Peter Liang, who was convicted of manslaughter and official misconduct last month in the 2014 fatal shooting of Akai Gurley, to five years’ probation and 800 hours of community service.

Justice Danny Chun also reduced the manslaughter conviction to criminally negligent homicide, NPR’s Hansi Lo Wang reports, adding that prosecutors say they will appeal that decision.”
