After cop killer dodges murder charge, Ex-NYPD sergeant says jury 'absolutely missed the mark'

TL;DR

A New York City jury found the man accused of killing a police detective during a traffic stop in Queens not guilty of murder, but guilty of lesser charges in the fatal shooting. In their verdict Wednesday, jurors ruled that Guy Rivera was guilty of aggravated manslaughter in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon for firing his gun at 31-year-old NYPD Det. Jonathan Diller and killing him after a stop in Far Rockaway in 2024.
