Thank you RonWade and I am so happy that you have had a positive experience with a Black person. Everyone should be able to live in this world without fear, as we are all more similar than dissimilar. I feel sorry for these officers and wonder how they could have such hatred in their hearts. I truly hope one day they will find peace within themselves.

Why are the sentences running concurrently? That’s not fair. It should be consecutive sentences. They should serve every single day! No early parole.
@voiceofjeff
Ай бұрын
It's not really parole. For example: Their fifteen year sentence and five year sentence runs at the same time, like on top of each other; as opposed to consecutive time, where after the 15 yr sentence is done, the five year sentence begins. And if they get 15 years of federal time on top of what they got here, the max amount of time they'll serve is fifteen years! It's a total sham!

They'll be put in protective custody and probably get reduced sentences running "concurrently". That's not justice!!
I would move out of MS I never heard of anything like this except reading things like this during slavery.
Instead of separating themselves from their criminal buddies they seem to be proud and protecting them like Kings in court is a shame.
These guys are in every law enforcement in America.
I mean i think their Lt and Sgt also needed to be charged bc i know they knew what they clowns was doing!!
Same old Mississippi I left in the 1970s. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I just saw a "Come to Mississippi" TV advertisement earlier today. I'm guessing this story won't help that cause.
The sad thing is only one of them were charged with a crime against persons. They might have gotten long sentences but not for the violence against the men.
They were given a pass on the assault the torture the attempted murder . The were only charged with the cover up.

So this sentencing came after the Federal sentencing. Federal sentencing: Dedmon 40 years, McAlpin 27 years, Elward 20 years, Opdyke and Middleton 17.5 years each and Hartfield 10 years. In federal prison it's a mandatory 85% time of a sentence.
