The acts of Ashford Thompson’s sister and girlfriend were reprehensible.

While I am very pleased that the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor took action to hold these women accountable for their crimes, the sentencing is disappointing.

I don’t think there is any punishment that can comfort or ease the loss that Josh’s family and our community has suffered but surely a stronger sentence would have been an action of support for Holly, and for Josh’s family, friends and police officers everywhere.

At the very least, it is on the record that Roberson and Robinson will forever be responsible for the parts they played in the murder of one of the finest officers and human beings that we have known.
