Breaking: Dawnta Harris sentenced to life for murder of Amy Caprio

TOWSON, Md. —The teenager convicted of killing Baltimore County police officer Amy Caprio in Parkville last year has been sentenced to life in prison.

Dawnta Harris, 17, after an eight-day trial, a jury found him guilty of felony murder back in May.

Video from Caprio's body-worn camera was considered strong evidence. Harris was behind the wheel of the stolen Jeep that ran her over in May 2018. Jurors believed Harris also took part in at least one burglary in the Parkville area.

The Baltimore County state's attorney sought a life sentence. Harris's defense says it plans to file an appeal. The three other teens also accused in Caprio's death will be sentenced next month.

Didn't say life without parole, so he will be out in 15. Maryland needs to reinstitute the Death penalty. That is the only sentence that is worthy of these killings. This would empty the prisons somewhat and save tax dollars.

Did he get "Natural Life" or just "Life"? Life he will be out in 15 years.

Where is Colin Kaepernick now? Is he protesting all the people killed every week by blacks? I think not. It wouldn't make him any money.
