Remember that case in New York when undercover police officers killed an unarmed man before his wedding by shooting over 40 rounds? Well a State Supreme Court Judge denied the defense lawyer’s motion to dismiss the case. While this is a good step, the trial is still far from being over. Sean Bell, who was 23, was killed on November 25, 2006 because undercover police officers thought he was reaching for a gun. A following investigation revealed the victim and his party were unarmed. Recalling from an interview that I saw at the time of the shooting, though Sean Bell never got a chance to get married, his girlfriend still undertook his last name.
