Former South Carolina police officer, Michael Slager was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the shooting death of Walter Scott two years ago. Scott was shot in the back multiple times while trying to run from Slager. The judge cited second-degree murder and obstruction of justice as Slager’s charges. Slager was fired shortly after the shooting, which occurred on April 4, 2015. Scott’s mother told Slager that she forgives him for shooting and killing her son. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.
