Ex-Michigan state trooper loses appeal of manslaughter conviction in stun gun-related death of teen
Fox News
A former Michigan state trooper lost an appeal this week over his manslaughter conviction related to the death of a teenage driver who smashed his all-terrain vehicle into a truck after the trooper used a stun gun on him.
The appeals court reaffirmed his conviction in a 3-0 opinion. Bessner was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2017 after Damon Grimes, 15, drove the ATV near the trooper's car in Detroit while Bessner and another officer were patrolling the neighborhood.More Related News
