People v. Flint (Cal. Ct. App. - Oct. 2, 2026)

If you kill a police officer -- even one, as here, who's off-duty -- you can rest assured that the authorities will do everything in their power to make sure that you never see the light of day. That's true even if, as here, you are only the lookout, and someone else kills the person. That's also true even if, as here, the off-duty officer is a lower-level employee primarily doing administrative work.

Sentenced to 29 years to life. Not the actual shooter, but petition for resentencing denied. Affirmed.
