Attorneys for Cop Who Shot 911 Caller Seek Creative Sentence
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Attorneys for a Minneapolis police officer convicted of murder in the shooting of an unarmed woman who had called 911 are asking a judge to give him a creative sentence rather than send him to prison.
A jury convicted Mohamed Noor in April of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the July 2017 death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Australia.
Noor's lawyers said in papers filed ahead of Friday's sentencing hearing that he should receive probation requiring him to report to a week in county detention on Damond's birthday and the anniversary of her death.
Sentencing guidelines call for a 12 1/2-year term, but they say incarceration would only compound the tragedy.
Prosecutors are waiting until the hearing to recommend a sentence.
