On the question of sentencing Forcillo to jail time, Then may consider that prison is known to be particularly dangerous for police. James Forcillo shot and killed Sammy Yatim on an empty Dundas streetcar, he will be sentenced for attempting to kill the dying teenager by firing another six shots. He is also one of the few people to be convicted of attempted murder when the victim died. Should Forcillo be sentenced to jail time, he is expected to seek bail pending appeal of his conviction and sentence. It is rare for a police officer to be convicted of unjustified use of force and rarer still for police officers to be sentenced to jail time.
