Justin Gregory Craven, a former police officer in North Augusta, pleaded guilty to misconduct in office on Monday and was sentenced to probation as well as 80 hours of public service, local broadcaster WRDW reported.

The felony charge was dropped as part of Monday’s plea agreement, WRDW said. Craven faced one year in prison with a fine of up to $1,000, the Aiken Standard newspaper reported.

A grand jury in South Carolina indicted Craven in May on a felony charge of firing his weapon into a vehicle while it was occupied, killing an unarmed Black man.

Craven had chased the motorist, Ernest Satterwhite, 68, for 13 miles before stopping him on a dirt road behind his home in February 2014, a prosecutor has said.

Craven then got out of his car and approached the citizen, and fired at him several times through his car window, killing him, authorities have said.

As long as we live in this system of white supremacy, and ignore the fact that we live in this type of system, we should expect more race soldiers to continue to murder Black citizens with the support of other white supremacists and the state.
