Noor was convicted of third-degree murder for the murder of Justine Ruszczyk Damond on July 15, 2017 and was initially sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison, but then the Supreme Court tossed that charge last month.

“I still cry so often and I miss her so deeply. I will always love her,” Don Damond, Justine’s fiancé, told the court via teleconference.

Damond who was very disappointed in the decision spoke out saying Justine Ruszczyk Damond would have shown mercy toward her killer. “I no doubt she would have forgiven you, Mohamed, for your inability to manage your own emotions that night,” he said.

Noor spoke in court and apologized for his actions. “I’m deeply grateful for Mr. Damond’s forgiveness,” the former officer shared. “I’m deeply sorry for the pain that I’ve caused that family.”

According to documents 57 months was the maximum sentence he could receive and 41 months being the minimum which would allowed him to become free instantly.

Hennepin County Judge Kathryn Quaintance said the choices he made that night caused him to receive the maximum sentence.

“You did shoot across the nose of your partner. You did endanger a bicyclist and residents of a community of surrounding houses on a summer Saturday evening. One household was entertaining guests on a porch adjacent to the gunfire,” she said.

“These factors of endangering the public make your crime of manslaughter appropriate for high end of the guidelines.”
