Ex-Minneapolis cop Mohamed Noor gets lighter prison sentence after murder conviction tossed - New York Post
A former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed woman who called 911 to report a possible crime was re-sentenced to nearly five years in prison Thursday after the state’s highest court overturned his murder conviction last month.Mohamed Noor was initially sentenced to 12.5 years in the 2017 fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old bride-to-be who was concerned about a possible rape in progress behind her home.But last month the Minnesota Supreme Court vacated Noor’s murder conviction and sentence, claiming that he shouldn’t have been charged with third-degree murder since it’s only applied when a defendant shows a “generalized indifference to human life.”.
