A former law enforcement officer's trial has entered a new phase. Testimony is being heard to determine the length of his prison sentence. This comes after a recent development in which he changed his plea.

The change occurred on August 26 and is related to charges stemming from a fatal crash. The former deputy still faces time behind bars despite the plea change. His lawyers are seeking a specific type of probation that would involve a short period of incarceration followed by supervised release.

Further details about the case and trial are available from the source. The outcome of the trial will depend on the testimony and evidence presented.
