WOODSTOCK, Ga. – The family attorney for the man killed by a former Woodstock police officer is offering reaction after a Cobb County judge ruled the officer would not serve any time behind bars. This after the officer pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

“It was a killing of a young man, and it was really unnecessary,” Lampros said.
