POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE
An officer shot a man to death here back in 2009 -- the officer and his partner had subdued Oscar Grant after rowdy partying was reported on a Bay Area Rapid Transit car on New Year's.

The officer was originally charged with murder and claimed at trial that he had intended to tase Grant and instead shot him to death (caught by multiple cell cams) due to the chaotic scene and stress of the situation.

The officer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, sentenced to 2 years jail time, and Grant's family was awarded $2.8 million in a lawsuit settlement. The Oscar Grant shooting story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BART_Police...scar_Grant


I think Bates' killing of Harrss is very similar and the outcome likely will be too.
