On March 18, a jury convicted former Lonoke County sheriff's deputy Michael Davis of negligent homicide, a misdemeanor, in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Hunter Brittain during an early morning traffic stop June 23.

Following a brief sentencing hearing, Davis was sentenced to the maximum of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Davis was initially charged with felony manslaughter Sept. 17 following the death of Brittain. 

Since 2005, five law enforcement officers in Arkansas have been charged in on-duty shootings. Of those five, Davis is the only defendant to be convicted.

This week on Capitol & Scott, reporter Teresa Moss talks about covering the Davis trial and what the conviction means for police shootings in the state.
