Ryan Frederick Guilty of Voluntary Manslaughter

He was also convicted of posession of Marijuana.

Check out the coverage from Radley Balko and The Virginia Pilot.

This sentence carries a maximum of 10 years plus a max of one year for a possession of marijuana charge.

I'll talk more about this later. Right now I'm just sad.

My prayers are with you Ryan.

Love always,

Free Ryan Frederick

The big story I'm following is the trial of Ryan Frederick, the Chesapeake, VA man charged with Capital Murder for killing a police officer who was breaking into his home as part of a SWAT-style raid. (Wiki about the case here)

The best source for information on the story has come from Radley Balko, a senior editor at Reason Magazine and writer of the Agitator blog. I'll let you look through the wiki if you want all the updates but coverage of the trial can be found here, here, and here.
