Cop Convicted In Teen's Death, Sentenced to Prison ... Wait ... what?

[jaF0]

Cop Convicted? Yup?

Imprisoned? Yup.

Former Michigan State Police trooper Mark Bessner was sentenced Monday to 5-15 years in prison for causing the death of teenage ATV rider Damon Grimes by Tasing him during a pursuit.

Bessner apologized to the family of the 15-year-old, saying, "I'm truly sorry."

"It was a tragedy (Grimes) died that day," said Bessner. "It is a tragedy that he will never graduate from high school. I think about it every day. If there was a time machine I could jump into and change it, I would."

But Wayne County Circuit Judge Margaret Van Houten, who exceeded the sentencing guidelines of 19-38 months, slammed Bessner, saying he "abused the public trust" and that his actions contributed to the community's distrust of police.

He won't.

When the judge exceeded the sentencing guideline, he committed what's known as judicial error. The sentence will be vacated on appeal and the case will be sent back to the trial judge for resentencing.

The cop won't get out of the conviction, but the time in prison will be reduced to the appropriate length.

Depending on when that gets done, the cop may be able to walk free at that point. Then we'll hear the Progressives really start to howl.
