The judge who sentenced Tyler Brown to just five-to-six years in prison for shooting at two police officers conceded that she was “taking a chance” that the defendant would not reoffend. Now, six years later, Brown stands accused of opening fire on motorists who happened to be driving past him on a Boston parkway last week.
Suffolk Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders can be heard in courtroom audio explaining to Brown that she was defying the recommendations of experienced police officers and probation officers in sentencing him to less than half the time requested by prosecutors after he was convicted of opening fire on two police officers in May 2020.
