– Othal Wallace, who shot and killed a Daytona Beach police officer, will spend the next 30 years in prison after a judge handed down a sentence Friday.Wallace was on trial for first-degree murder, but he was convicted in Clay County last month of a lesser charge.“We are unbelievably grateful for the jury’s work and consideration and rejection of an offense that would result in the death penalty,” said Tim Pribisco, Wallace’s attorney.
Officer Raynor, who was quickly found by his fellow officers, was shot in the head and sent to the hospital in critical condition. A manhunt then began for Wallace.“Officer Jason Raynor was doing his job – protecting our community – and he lost his life as a result.” State Attorney R.J. Larizza said about the defendant. “The defendant shot and killed Officer Raynor because he harbored a deep-seated hate for law enforcement – not because he was fearful for his life.
