Two police officers pleaded guilty Thursday to manslaughter in the shooting death of a 92-year-old woman during a botched drug raid last fall. A third officer still faces charges.

Officer J.R. Smith told a state judge Thursday that he regretted what had happened.

"I'm sorry," the 35-year-old said, his voice barely audible. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter, violation of oath, criminal solicitation, making false statements and perjury, which was based on claims in a warrant.

I am at a loss of words for this one. Now the cops are willingly admitting they conspired to violate her civil rights, too!? According to the article, they are looking at 10 years. They knowingly committed the absolute worst case act against a civilian.

If a cop was killed, you'd bet there'd be a "death row" sentence coming down.

Ongoing convo right here. I completely agree with you though. This is a classic home invasion ending in death. It's first degree murder plain and simple. Unless you're a cop, in which case it's manslaughter.

My apologies. Mods, plz delete this post.
