Drunk Cop, Mows Down Pastor's Daughter, Will Be Home By the Holidays

Stinkin' like a whiskey bottle, NYPD cop Andrew Kelly mowed down a Brooklyn pastor's daughter but his buddies in blue delayed the blood alcohol testing.  Now former Officer Kelly will be home by Christmas following his 90 day sentence for vehicular manslaughter.  He faced 7 years.  This story is remarkable for the charity shown not only by Kelly's NYPD colleagues who are serving suspensions for their role in the coverup of Kelly's DWI; but, also for the forgiveness shown by Pastor Varius Vainord who quietly but publically forgave the killer cop in Court, when Kelly entered his guilty plea.  At the link connect to the NY Daily News accounts of the sentencing and the other stories.
