That it has! Thank you for posting this. It makes us all weary after having lost so many officers recently and it's time for some good justice news.

Good news indeed!

I would like to see the death penalty on this, that's for sure.
Except here in CA that won't happen, and he'll never be executed. He will most likely spend the rest of his life behind bars, but at least he is off the streets!

No matter what the punishment is for this worthless person, I'm sure nothing will be enough for the family to take away the pain felt, of Officer Russell being killed. Very sad.

God bless his family.......
