A plea deal was reached Tuesday in the case against Darcus Allen, the man previously convicted of murder in the deaths of four Lakewood police officers in 2011.
“They had no evidence, there was no evidence that Maurice Clemmons was going to commit the murder of the four police officers,” said Alton McDonald, a friend of Allen’s. “My sympathy and condolences goes out to the family of the four fallen officers, however if you are not involved in a crime and you’re charged with something that you didn’t do it’s far better to be released now than to be released 50 or 70 years later.
“I’ve spent years watching you find holes in the legal system and I’m not going to go into details on how this has affected my life because it won’t change today’s outcome,” said Kim Renninger, widow of fallen officer Mark Renninger. “The bottom line is you know what you did, I know what you did, your actions have affected a lot of people in this community. You might not have pulled the trigger but you did make it possible for Maurice Clemmons to murder my husband and three other officers.
