(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.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
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.Originally Posted by Wulf202

On the other hand, if you and I to do something that stupid, they wouldve seized all of the guns, vehicles used in the crime, and at least 30-50k in fine plus trial. Sucky
Total nonsense. I don't know where you get this idea of the criminal justice system that throws the book at people but in my experience it's just the opposite. I arrested a guy who stabbed me in the face with a screwdriver. Repeat offender, in possession of cocaine. He plead to 2nd Deg Assault and got 60 days (originally charged with Attempt 2nd Deg Murder). While out on bond awaiting sentencing he was arrested for cocaine possession. He ultimately was sentenced to 90 days for that one.
That's far more typical than your scenario for a first-time offender.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

THIS!
Had not one, but two Jefferson County Assistant DAs tell me they usually try to give people a break first offense. Not sure about attempt murder of a peace officer- I would have thrown his ass away for life! It seems like the Jeffco jail has a lighter load than the Jeffco Probation Dept.
