Controversial Sentence: Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Receives Four Months in Prison for Excessive Force
A Los Angeles sheriff's deputy has been sentenced to four months in prison for using excessive force, following a plea deal offered by the new Trump-appointed U.S. attorney. Despite being convicted of a felony by a jury, the deputy will serve time for a misdemeanor charge. The victim's attorney sought to reinstate the felony conviction, but a federal appeals court rejected the request on Thursday.
