I
am sick to my stomach and I really do not know what to say right this
second. My cell and office phones have been blowing up all day, and
people have been emailing me nonstop, to let me know that Detectives
Michael Oliver, Gescard Isnora, and Marc Cooper, the three New York
City police officers accused of shooting 50 times and
murdering Sean
Bell, were found not guilty on all counts: Oliver, who fired 31 times
and reloaded once, and Isnora, who fired 11 times, had been charged
with manslaughter, felony assault and reckless endangerment. They faced
up to 25 years in prison if convicted on all charges. Cooper, who fired
four times, faced up to a year in jail if convicted of reckless
endangerment.
