Man imprisoned 16 years for wrongful conviction fatally shot by Georgia deputy
Leonard Allen Cure resisted arrest during a traffic stop, authorities say. He'd gotten $817,000 in compensation in August from Florida, where he'd been behind bars.
A man who spent more than 16 years in prison in Florida on a wrongful conviction was shot and killed Monday by a sheriff's deputy in Georgia during a traffic stop, authorities and representatives said.
Leonard Allen Cure, 53, was identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is reviewing the shooting.
You're viewing a single thread.
That cop had better be charged and jailed for the rest of his life.
Mf'ers murdering with impunity over a traffic stop. đĄ
Best I can do is a promotion to another department and a 6 month paid vacation.
I hate that you're right.
Give the cop solitary confinement for life.
Pretty sure heâs going to get a commendation from the commissioner and a sweet pension for life.
I really really hope someone gets the video of the stop released. That's the only way there's ever any accountability in these cases. Even then it can be an uphill battle.
The agency said preliminary information shows the deputy shocked the driver with a stun gun when he failed to obey commands, and the driver then began assaulting the deputy. The GBI said the deputy again tried using the stun gun and a baton to subdue him, then drew his gun and shot the driver when he continued to resist.
Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. The reason for the traffic stop is missing, why was he being arrested?
Jailed?! String that MF up nice and high.
