Minneapolis Officer’s Attorneys Seek No Prison for Shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Attorneys for the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of fatally shooting an unarmed woman in 2017 plan to ask a sentencing judge for no prison time.
If that's not granted, they're seeking less prison time than state sentencing guidelines recommend.
Mohamed Noor's lawyers filed a motion Thursday asking for a ``dispositional departure'' when he is sentenced June 7 for third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond who had called 911 to report a possible crime.
Noor's attorneys say he would be amenable to probation, citing his cooperation, attitude in court and remorse. The maximum prison term for third-degree murder is 25 years. The maximum sentence for second-degree manslaughter is 10 years.
