Newport, Virginia Manslaughter Verdict for Officer Albin Pearson #cops #justice #accountability
Sgt. Albin Trevor Pearson was charged in the fatal shooting of Henry K. “Hank” Berry III in his Oyster Point townhome on Dec. 27, 2019, when police tried to arrest him on a misdemeanor charge of abusing the city’s 911 system.
They had no arrest or search warrant, and Berry, 43, refused to come outside his home. Police body cam videos of the interaction show when he tried to close his front door, the officers entered and tried to arrest him.
“This was contempt of cop,” Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jefferson James told the jury. “Police are not entitled to special consideration. We shouldn’t expect unlawful conduct from them.”
The manslaughter conviction carries a prison term of from one to 10 years. Pearson remains free pending his sentencing on December 9. Judge Spencer increased his bond from $200,000 to $275,000
