15 years in prison for gunman who shot 5 Jamar Clark protesters

A judge on Wednesday sentenced Allen Scarsella to more than 15 years in prison for the racially motivated shooting of five black men at a north Minneapolis demonstration following the death of Jamar Clark.

It was a punishment considered far too lenient by Clark’s family, who confronted Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman after the sentencing and repeatedly demanded to know why more severe charges weren’t filed against Scarsella.
