About a year ago at a roadside safety checkpoint Master SGT. Stanley Talbot was killed when a driver drove off and the Sgt. got attached to his car. After he was dragged for several blocks before becoming unattached, he was hit by another police officer who commandeered a citizens car back at the checkpoint.
The link below should have a pretty good history of the trial from last week. The jury started deliberations today.
From what I have been able to gather, the trooper was still alive when he fell from the fleeing car. I think it was the pursuing car that actually killed the Sgt.. However, I dont think the defendant should be let out of jail anytime soon. In my mind, the fact remains a Master Sgt. died as a direct result of his actions.
What do you guys think?
