Man's sentence reduced in friend's death by officer.

An Alabama judge has reduced the sentence of LaKeith Smith, who was convicted of felony murder for the death of his friend during a burglary in 2015. Smith, who was 15 at the time, did not pull the trigger but was involved in the crime that led to the police response. His sentence was reduced from 55 to 30 years, including time served. Smith's attorney plans to appeal the conviction and sentence, citing ineffective counsel. The district attorney expressed disappointment that Smith did not take responsibility for his actions during the re-sentencing hearing.
