The former Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed Australian Justine Ruszczyk, has been released from prison. AmeliaAdams9 9News READ MORE:
Mohamed Noor, 36, was convicted in April 2019 of third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Justine Ruszczyk, who called 911 on the night of July 15, 2017, to report a possible sexual assault in an alley behind her house.
A jury convicted Noor of both third-degree murder - known as "depraved mind murder" - and manslaughter, and he was initially sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Because Noor had been incarcerated since his conviction, he was given roughly 30 months credit for time served at the time of his resentencing. According to Minnesota law, he needed to serve at least two-thirds of his sentence behind bars, with the last third eligible for supervised release, a threshold of his sentence that was crossed earlier this month.He will be on supervised release until January 24, 2024, according to the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
