Toronto officer guilty of attempted murder | The Compost Bin | Forums

I'm having a hard time comprehending why this isn't straight up murder.

A jury has found Toronto police Const. James Forcillo guilty of attempted murder in the 2013 shooting death of Sammy Yatim.

Forcillo faced two charges related to the shooting death of 18-year-old Yatim on a streetcar in 2013, but was found not-guilty of second-degree murder.

The jury believed Forcillo was justified in firing the first three shots at Yatim, but not the second round of shots, and hence was guilty of attempted murder.

Forcillo said nothing as he left the courthouse around 5:15 p.m. surrounded by reporters and several Toronto police officers. At least one protester yelled "Killer!" as the officer ducked into a black SUV.
