Ex-cop who fatally shot unarmed Walter Scott pleads guilty in civil rights trial
Michael Slager could be sentenced to as much as life in prison for shooting Walter Scott five times in the back and then trying to cover it up. How many years do you think he will get?
He pleaded guilty to violating Scott's civil rights. He must have known he stood a good chance of being convicted after being caught on video for the shooting and planting evidence near the body.
It was a stroke of luck this was captured on video because the cop would never have been suspected since even in the worst circumstance their word is always accepted.
