Federal sentences imposed on cops after deadly collateral damage from the drug war

By Douglas A. Berman

ADVERTISEMENTS
As detailed in this CNN report, a trio of "former Atlanta police officers were sentenced Tuesday to prison terms ranging from five to 10 years for covering up a botched drug raid in which a 92-year-old woman was killed."  In this discussion of the sentencing, Radley Balko at Reason notes some drug war comparison outcomes: By comparison, Ryan Frederick ? the Chesapeake, Virginia man who says he mistakenly fired one shot that struck and killed a police officer during a drug raid on his home ? received a 10-year sentence. Cory Maye, who also mistakenly shot and killed a cop during a botched drug raid, is still in prison for the rest of his life.
