Former New York Police Department (NYPD) Officer
Peter Liang was spared jail time Tuesday for fatally shooting Akai
Gurley in a Brooklyn housing project, a sentence that drew anger from
Gurley's friends and family who packed the courtroom.
Following a recommendation
that Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson made in March, Justice
Danny Chun of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn ordered Liang, 28, to
serve five years probation and 800 hours of community service. Liang
will also serve three years probation concurrently on misconduct
charges.
Thompson had originally recommended five years
probation along with six months of home confinement and 500 hours of
community service.
