BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A former Boulder police officer was convicted Tuesday of killing a bull elk that had become a treasured companion in an upscale neighborhood and whose death sparked marches, prayer vigils and at least one tribute song.A jury found Sam Carter guilty of nine charges. He could face up to six years in prison after shooting the animal known as "Big Boy" last year as it grazed beneath a crabapple tree, The Daily Camera reported
Fuck those guys. But I doubt they are going to lock him up.
I'm guessing he gets 5 years.

I dont understand why he took it to trial
Because in his career he's probably seen many other persons guilty of crimes beat the system and was playing the odds.Quote:

OK, he deserves to be punished for what he did, especially under the color of law, but did I read that correctly? Prayer vigils for a damned elk? WTF?

Wulf, I don't understand that thought process either. The town went batty with prayer vigils, collections for a memorial for the animal and those people are going to be the ones on the jury. Why would you even try to take it to trial unless you had video evidence you didn't do any of the alleged criminal acts? He was done the minute he stepped in the courtroom. He should have negotiated the plea.
