Ohio Cop Gets 15 Years for Murdering Andre Hill, Lacks Remorse
Adam Coy, a former Columbus police officer, received a mandatory sentence of 15 years to life for the murder of Andre Hill, a Black man fatally shot in December 2020. Coy, who claimed he feared for his life, was found guilty of murder after asserting he believed Hill was holding a gun. Despite Coy’s appeal plans, prosecutors argued Hill posed no threat, and victim impact statements highlighted Hill’s gentle nature. Body camera footage revealed Hill holding a cellphone, with medical aid delayed at the scene, which led to a $10 million settlement with Hill’s family.
