Overview
- The Franklin County Common Pleas Court imposed the mandatory 15-years-to-life sentence on July 28, with parole eligibility beginning in 2040.
- Coy announced he will appeal his conviction after Judge Stephen McIntosh denied his request for a new trial in late June.
- He was found guilty in November of murder, reckless homicide and felonious assault for fatally shooting unarmed 47-year-old Andre Hill in a Columbus garage.
- Columbus reached a $10 million settlement with Hill’s family and enacted ‘Andre’s Law,’ requiring officers to render immediate medical aid after using force.
- Court records and body camera logs show Coy failed to activate his camera until after the shooting and did not offer prompt medical assistance to Hill.
