“Former L.A. County deputy sentenced to 30 days in jail for fatal 2019 shooting
A former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy will serve 30 days in jail in onnection with a fatal 2019 shooting in which authorities fired more than 30 rounds into the back of a moving car, under the terms of a plea deal reached today in a downtown L.A. courtroom.Andrew Lyons pleaded no contest to assault with a firearm and assault under color of authority in the killing of 24-year-old Ryan Twyman outside a Willowbrook apartment complex in July 2019. The case marks the first time in roughly two decades that an L.A. County law enforcement officer has been sentenced to jail or prison for an on-duty shooting.”
30 days for such horrid lack of professional control & pi** poor firearms discipline that it resulted in someone’s death. 30 lousy days for a life.
