When Louisiana officer Derrick Stafford fired 14 shots into a van driven by an unarmed man with his hands raised, he wound up killing a 6-year-old boy with autism. Stafford, 33, a former Marksville deputy marshal and one of two cops arrested in the 2015 incident, was found guilty of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter Friday in a 10-2 vote by an Avoyelles Parish jury. Christopher Few, the unarmed driver who was also shot, didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to his family. He said he learned about Jeremy’s death when he woke up in the hospital six days after the shooting. Both Stafford and Greenhouse have been sued before over separate claims of excessive force or bad police work.
