Former South Carolina police officer Michael Slager was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison on Dec 8. for fatally shooting an unarmed man in the back after a traffic stop.
After the sentencing, Anthony Scott, the victim’s brother, said, “We are hurt and we do have some type of passion for the Slager family, in that they have to suffer as well. And we do forgive Michael Slager for what he did. But yes, we did want justice for my brother, and we feel that we have gotten a sense of justice.”
