MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Sentencing has been delayed for a man convicted of fatally shooting a police officer in Memphis, Tennessee, during a chaotic raid of his home.
Judge James Beasley on Friday postponed the sentencing of 25-year-old Treveno Campbell to March 28 in Shelby County Criminal Court.
Defence lawyer William Massey said a presentencing report should be ready by then, and he’ll file a motion for a new trial.
Campbell faces up to 25 years for the second-degree murder of Officer Martoiya Lang, one of six officers who broke into Campbell’s home in 2012 with a warrant to arrest a different man. Campbell also was convicted of attempted murder and reckless endangerment of Lang’s fellow officers.
The 32-year-old mother of four was the first female Memphis officer killed in the line of duty.
