Former Florida officer Nouman Raja sentenced to 25 years for killing Corey Jones.
A former Florida police officer was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison in the on-duty shooting of a black church musician who was stranded on the side of a road after his car broke down.
Before sentencing Raja, Marx said he had a"heavy, heavy, heavy burden" to mete out justice in what"has been a heartbreaking case" for both Jones' and Rajas' families. While race became an issue during the trial of Raja, a Muslim-American, Clinton Jones said,"This is not a race thing." "Today we can tell many of those families that there is hope. There is hope for America because a jury in Palm Beach, Florida, looked at all the evidence and they said a black man killed by the police can get equal justice, can get fair administration of the law," Crump said.
Adnan Raja, a deputy sheriff in Palm Beach County, also spoke in court on behalf of his brother. He calling the prosecution of his younger sibling"political."But Jones' relatives told Marx that Raja has never shown any remorse for shooting Jones. They asked that the maximum sentence be imposed.
