MIAMI - A North Miami police officer convicted of culpable negligence in the 2016 shooting of an unarmed mental health therapist won't serve any prison time.
Instead, Officer Jonathan Aledda will serve a year of administrative probation, perform 100 hours of community service and write an essay on the importance of proper communication at a police scene.
A Miami-Dade County judge decided to withhold adjudication during Wednesday's sentencing hearing, ordering Aledda to serve probation, perform 100 hours of community service and write the essay of at least 2,500 words.
Aledda was acquitted last month on two counts of attempted manslaughter in his retrial, but a jury found him guilty on the lesser charge. He shot Charles Kinsey during the July 18, 2016, standoff in North Miami.
