Three former Atlanta police officers were to have a sentencing hearing this morning for their roles in the death of a 92-year-old woman three years ago.According to authorities, the three offered guilty pleas to a federal conspiracy charge in relation to the death of an elderly woman during a botched drug raid.
Jason R. Smith, Gregg Junnier and Arthur Tesler were to appear in federal court Monday for sentencing on a charge of conspiracy to violate civil rights resulting in death. Kathryn Johnston was killed by police gunfire in the 2006 raid.
The U.S. attorney's office recommends that Smith serve approximately 12 and half years in federal prison and that Junnier and Tesler serve nearly 10 years.
Smith and Junnier's proposed sentences were based on their cooperation with authorities.
