Prosecutor Won’t Seek Prison for Peter Liang, Ex-Officer Convicted in
Killing

MARCH 23, 2016
The Brooklyn district attorney’s office announced on Wednesday that it
would not seek prison time for the former New York City police officer
convicted last month in the fatal shooting of a young man in a Brooklyn
housing project.
In a statement noting that the case was about “justice and not about
revenge,” the district attorney, Ken Thompson, recommended that the officer
, Peter Liang, receive five years of probation, including six months of home
confinement, when he faces sentencing next month.
“Mr. Liang has no prior criminal history and poses no future threat to
public safety,” Mr. Thompson’s statement said. “Because his incarceration
is not necessary to protect the public, and due to the unique circumstances
of this case, a prison sentence is not warranted.”
Officer Liang was on patrol in a stairwell with his partner in the Louis H.
Pink Houses on Nov. 20, 2014, when his gun fired and a ricocheting bullet
struck and killed Akai Gurley, a 28-year-old black man who was visiting his
girlfriend and who was unarmed.
Slightly more than a year later, a state grand jury indicted Officer Liang
on charges that included manslaughter. He was convicted on Feb. 11. He was
then fired by the Police Department.
Mr. Thompson’s statement, accompanied by a formal sentencing letter, is
only a recommendation to Justice Danny Chun of State Supreme Court, who is
scheduled to issue a sentence in the case on April 14. In his sentencing
letter, the district attorney wrote that Mr. Liang’s actions had “tragic
and irreparable consequences,” but he added that there was no evidence that
Mr. Liang intended to kill or even injure Mr. Gurley.
