"It is the court's belief that the defendant, Sgt. Duran, was upset that Mr. Duprey was getting away and reacted."
Erik Duran, a former NYPD sergeant, was sentenced to three to nine years in prison for manslaughter in the death of Eric Duprey. Duran was convicted for recklessly causing Duprey's death by throwing a picnic cooler at him, leading to a fatal crash. This case marks the first conviction of an on-duty NYPD officer for killing a civilian in a decade. Duran expressed remorse in court, while Duprey's family sought justice. The judge rejected Duran's defense, stating his actions were not justified.
