DC officers sentenced in man's scooter crash death
Two D.C. police officers were sentenced for causing the death of a man on a moped nearly four years ago. The judge sentenced Officer Terrence Sutton to five and a half years in prison, and Lieutenant Andrew Zabasky will serve four years.
The officers plan to appeal their conviction and sentencing.
This all began in October 2020, when Officer Terence Sutton started pursuing 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown.
Hylton-Brown was on a moped, crashed into a vehicle and died.
Sutton was convicted of second-degree murder in 2022. Sutton and his supervising officer, Lt. Andrew Zabavsky, were both convicted of obstruction of justice.
