From the LVRJ: On the eve of trial, the man who shot and wounded three Las Vegas SWAT officers as they broke into his home to serve a search warrant pleaded guilty to three felonies.
Emmanuel Dozier's trial was set to begin Monday on 10 felony counts relating to the December 2008 incident, including three counts of attempted murder. He pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of sale of a controlled substance and one count of resisting a public officer.
As part of the plea agreement, the other charges were dropped. A sentencing hearing before Judge Valorie Vega is set for Sept. 13. Dozier faces probation or 1 to 10 years in prison.
Dozier, 34, remains free on $75,000 bond. http://www.lvrj.com/news/man-who-shot-officers-serving-warrant-takes-plea-deal-121126974.html
So, a guy shoots 3 SWAT officers, is charged with 10 felonies and pleads it down to resisting arrest and 2 counts of selling drugs? Further, the defendant is still out on only a $75,000 bond?
All I can think of, is that the SWAT team really screwed up that the defendant gets nothing for shooting the officers or the defendant has one hell of a lawyer.
Unfortunately, now we will never know as I am sure Metro will hush up this shooting and pretend it never happened.
The defendant is very lucky to be alive.
