I searched Gabe, and I read three reports about the situation. Couple things were notable - Plea bargain! Of course the officials strut their victory, but look at the fines. For the list against him those fines are less than speeding tickets. Also, wife serves one day in jail and fellow officer gets no time.
While the victors strut I can hear someone on the other side saying that Gabe threw himself on a grenade.
I don't know what all happened here, but I have lived too much life, trusted conversations about who and what, and paid some high prices for gray areas and other peoples areas to be judgmental of what I read about this.
