Officer Found Guilty of Wrongful Death

A police officer has been found guilty of the wrongful death of a civilian. The officer, who has not been named, was accused of using excessive force during an arrest.

The incident occurred on a busy street in a major city, where the officer was tasked with making an arrest. Witnesses reported that the officer used a baton to strike the civilian, causing severe head injuries.

The civilian later died from their injuries, and the officer was charged with manslaughter. The trial lasted several weeks, with the prosecution presenting video evidence of the incident.

"The officer's actions were reckless and unnecessary," said the prosecutor. "He had the opportunity to de-escalate the situation, but instead chose to use force."

The defense argued that the officer was acting in self-defense, and that the civilian had been resisting arrest. However, the jury found the officer guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter.

The officer is expected to face a prison sentence. The incident has sparked a debate about police brutality and the need for increased accountability within law enforcement agencies.
