NYPD Officers Surrender in Groom's Death By PAT MILTON, Associated Press Writers 60 minutes ago NEW YORK - Three police officers surrendered Monday to face charges in the shooting that killed a groom on his wedding day. The policemen where they were being fingerprinted and processed before their arraignment later Monday. Michael Oliver, who fired 31 times, and Gescard Isnora, who fired 11 bullets, face felony manslaughter charges, according to a person close to the investigation, who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the results were secret. Marc Cooper, who fired four shots, faces a misdemeanor endangerment charge, the person said. Two other officers involved in the shooting were not indicted. "We are a long way from a conviction," said defense attorney Philip Karasyk, who represents Isnora. The Nov. 25 shooting killed Sean Bell and severely injured two of his bachelor party guests. Police have said the officers were involved in an unrelated investigation at the nightclub when they overheard a conversation that convinced them the men were going to their car to retrieve a gun. They have said they believed someone in Bell's car was reaching for a gun when they opened fire, but no gun was found. While relatives of the victims waited for the Queens district attorney to unseal the indictment Monday, some were angry about reports of a lavish weekend party involving one of the indicted men. Oliver ran up a $4,200 bill at a restaurant with supporters feasting on $180 pasta with truffles and $575 bottles of wine, the Daily News reported Monday. "I don't really know what he was celebrating," said Denise Ford, whose son Trent Benefield was shot and seriously wounded the night Bell was killed. A third friend, Joseph Guzman, also was wounded in the shooting. Index | New Thread | Reply | Close | Stick | Delete
