[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting how we expect a 20 year old to make all the correct moves while in an extremely stressful situation, but we can make excuses for a 26 year veteran of the police force who "made a mistake" in the same situation that she's probably been in a few dozen times, and has been trained to handle it.[/quote]

Thank you for this point, which should be abundantly obvious to anyone capable of rational thought.[/quote]

I should add that I very much hope she is convicted of manslaughter and serves every one of the ten years maximum term, but my quarter century in the system leaves me with the certainty that she is likely to not be convicted, and even if she is, to serve a piddling sentence just like Oscar Grant's killer did.[/quote]

Page 108: Manslaughter 2nd Degree, Culpable Negligence - severity level 8

Sentencing guidelines grid (they don’t list every offense under a severity level, hence the first document): https://mn.gov/msgc-stat/documents/Guidelines/2020/2020StandardSentencingGuidelinesGrid.pdf

Severity level 8 with a criminal history score of 0 has a sentencing guideline of 48 months. In MN, a person serves 2/3 of their term before being eligible for release.

The state can file for an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines in a separate hearing in MN. I don’t know enough about this case yet to say if there are factors they could cite.
