"Duran was given a three to nine year sentence last Thursday by Bronx Supreme Court Judge Guy Mitchell after a jury found him guilty of manslaughter in the killing of 30-year-old Eric Duprey."
"Duran's $300,000 bail, which requires him to give up his passport, was paid for by supporters and will keep him out of prison through the course of his appeal."
"The Sergeants Benevolent Association, the union representing sergeants that helped secure Duran's bail, applauded the judge's decision Friday."
"Advocates who had urged the New York Attorney General Letitia James to demand the lengthiest sentence possible for Duran expressed anger at Duran."
Erik Duran, a New York Police Department officer, was sentenced to three to nine years for manslaughter in the death of Eric Duprey. Duran threw a cooler at Duprey, whom he recognized as a fleeing crime suspect. He is the first active NYPD member prosecuted in over a decade. Duran was granted $300,000 bail by a state appeals court, allowing him to remain free during his appeal. His bail was supported by the Sergeants Benevolent Association and paid by supporters, while advocates expressed anger over the leniency shown in his case.
