snip-"key points

Former Columbus police officer Adam Coy will be sentenced for the 2020 murder of Andre Hill.

Coy was convicted of murder, felonious assault, and reckless homicide in November.

He faces life in prison without parole for 15 years, the mandatory sentence under Ohio law.

Coy's attorneys argued he mistook a key ring for a gun and feared for his life.

The city of Columbus previously settled a lawsuit with Hill's family for $10 million.

The Columbus PD has IMO, been flying under local & national radar even given their history of shooting black men
