The former US police officer convicted of killing Australian Justine Ruszczyk in Minneapolis has had his sentence more than halved. 9News

But the Minnesota Supreme Court tossed outlast month, saying the third-degree murder statute didn't fit the case because it can only apply when a defendant shows a "generalised indifference to human life," not when the conduct is directed at a particular person, as it was with Damond.

Noor, who was fired after he was charged, has already served more than 29 months. In Minnesota, inmates who behave well typically serve two-thirds of their prison sentences and the remainder on supervised release. Noor's attorneys, Tom Plunkett and Peter Wold, sought 41 months at the re-sentencing, citing Noor's good behaviour behind bars and harsh conditions he faced during many months in solitary, away from the general prison population.

Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Amy Sweasy, meanwhile, asked Quaintance to give Noor the longest possible sentence. She said the case "is worse than typical" because of who Noor is. "The most serious sentence this court can impose is required," she said. But Don Damond also spoke directly to Noor, saying he forgave him and had no doubt Justine also would have forgiven him "for your inability in managing your emotions that night."

Seems the police in America can kill anyone they just don't take a fancy too!

Yanks do it again, playing games with lives and the pretend justice system!

Should have got life.

He should of been charged with first degree murder.

Not a surprise. The America always overrides the international laws by its will. The justice in the US is only for the US not for the world. 🇺🇸⚖️🇦🇺

Unbelievable, received 5 years reviewed sentence 4 killing an unarmed woman & almost killing his police partner in police car?

It’s not a crime to kill white folks😎

She had her life more than halved….

Black privilege

Facebook whistleblower tells politicians to 'team up' with US to regulate social media, or be ignoredA former Facebook data scientist who leaked damaging company documents suggesting harmful and deceptive conduct by the social media giant tells MPs the company cannot be trusted to regulate itself. Whistleblower who's info supports govt's desire to control information is celebrated by the media. Meanwhile, whistleblowers who shine a light on govt criminality, languish in prison or in fear of govt retribution and the media say nothing. Fake whistleblower an excuse for more censorship. Totally fake event. How about just following the LAW ?

Pentagon admits latest US hypersonic weapons test failsThe US suffered a setback in the race with China and Russia to develop hypersonic weapons when its latest test failed, the Pentagon has said That's just the beginning...... A man by the name of David Adair built the worlds fastest rocket when he was 17 (an electro magnetic fusion containment engine)... USA tried to steal it to achieve first strike on China and Russia but Adair destroyed it... Ever since he refused to build rockets for them again... Maybe U.S should steal China's hypersonic technology🤣
