In New York, three police detectives go on trial today for the killing of Sean Bell. In November 2006, the twenty-three-year-old Bell was killed in a hail of fifty police bullets as he left his bachelor party. His friends Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman were also shot, but they survived. None of the men were armed. Detectives Michael Oliver and Gescard Isnora are charged with manslaughter and could face up to twenty-five years in prison. Detective Marc Cooper faces misdemeanor charges and could face a year behind bars.
