Three NYPD Officers Acquitted in Sean Bell Shooting

Justice Arthur Cooperman acquitted Detectives Gescard Isnora, Michael Oliver, and Marc Cooper of all charges, manslaughter, assault, and reckless endangerment, in the 50-shot killing of Sean Bell. The verdict drew massive protests. The DOJ subsequently declined to bring federal charges. The city later settled a civil suit with Bell's family for $3.25 million.
