Read Time:53 Second

A California police officer has been sentenced to six years in prison for the fatal shooting of an unarmed mentally ill man.

Authorities say the man was shot nine times as he slowly drove away from police in a wealthy San Francisco suburb.

Danville Police Officer Andrew Hall was sentenced Friday. Counter-Costa Supreme Court Justice Terry Mokler says evidence has shown that 33-year-old Laudemer Arboleda was driving at 6 miles per hour when Hall fired a barrage of bullets at him.

The judge says it violated Hall’s training, endangered fellow officers and that Arboleda did not deserve to die for evading the officer.
