In a rare wrongful death civil trial against a police officer convicted of murdering a 15-year-old took the stand again Thursday.
In 2018, Roy was convicted of murdering Jordan, who was 15 years old at the time.
The night of April 29, 2017, Roy was a backup officer responding to complaints about a large house party and possible intoxicated teens. When he was off the stand, he made a thumbs up or down motion to his family seeking their opinion on how he did. "Immunity should only exist for people doing proper things. It should not be a shield for an officer who takes a life of an innocent kid," he said.And while Roy will be eligible for parole in two years, it's a sum he may never be able to repay.
