MO: Probation only for shooting a gangbanger: " In the spring of 2009, Pulley had been assaulted on a bus by some teenagers. Two months later, Pulley was on a bus and saw a young man whom he believed had been the lead assailant. Pulley called the police and when the young man transferred to another bus, Pulley, who was armed and had a conceal carry permit, followed. When the young man got off the second bus, Pulley followed again. He confronted the young man on the street and shot and killed him. The victim was Brandon Colenburg ... He had a tattoo that indicated he was a gang member. The jury convicted Pulley of second-degree murder, which carries a minimum sentence of 10 years, and the jury recommended that the judge put Pulley on probation. Which is what Circuit Court Judge Timothy Wilson did Thursday morning."
