The Minnesota Supreme Court has reversed the third-degree murder conviction of a former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an Australian woman in 2017, saying the charge doesn't fit the circumstances in the case.

In 2019, Mohamed Noor was convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Justine Damond (nee Ruszczyk), a dual US-Australian citizen who had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault behind her home. Noor was sentenced to 12 and a half years on the murder count but was not sentenced for manslaughter.

This week's ruling means his murder conviction has been overturned and the case will now go back to the district court, where he will be sentenced on the manslaughter count.
Noor has already served more than 28 months of his murder sentence. If sentenced to the presumptive four years for manslaughter, he could be eligible for supervised release around the end of this year.

Being a cop is so easy. You get away with so much and your punishments aren't really punishments.

Well of course. We can't punish the police when they commit crimes, because otherwise they might not commit them and why else become an officer if not to oppress others?

Did I read the article wrong or did this guy really shoot someone because his own patrol car made a loud bang and he feared for his life?

He also shot across his partners lap. He was in the driver seat. His partner in shotgun. He shot across his partners lap, right past his face and out his window at the victim

The partner admitted he had no idea why this guy shot his gun. It's a very fucked up case

You dont have to post in defense of a cop that murdered an unarmed woman in pajamas because his car scared him.

Reading about the case makes this death sound like manslaughter.

A tragic accident but an accident no less.

its not manslaughter if youre doing something intentionally to kill someone and then go back later and say oopsies I didnt mean to do that

it would be manslaughter if his gun went off by accident while he was cleaning it or something equally ridiculous.

I think it's pretty obvious he didn't intentionally gun down a woman in cold blood. It was a terrible accident.
This isnt an accident lol. This is a cop being too trigger happy and murdering citizen

Do you think if I heard a scary noise and immediately and intentionally shot the first person I saw, I could say it was just a terrible accident and get a slap on the wrist?

If law enforcement wasn't such a draconian force on people I love, I'd honestly join up. The perks are absurd.

manslaughter
/mansldr/

noun

1. the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.

Do you think the cop had malice when he killed her?

Yes?

Is that the legal definition of manslaughter in Minnesota?

My understanding is that the word malice is not included - instead it's intent to kill, which he had.

So he accidentally pulled his gun? He accidentally fired across his partner into this woman? Fuck off with this nonsense.

Except you don't accidentally draw your gun, accidentally point it at a person, and then accidentally kill that person. This is a genuinely absurd scenario you are describing.

You can draw your weapon, point and fire, and it still be manslaughter. Like in this instance for example.

Mmm, no, I dont think thats the case here. Those things can be true - depending on the circumstances. In this instance, sitting in the car, who the victim was, what they were doing etc. Its just not feasible, sorry.
