A former policeman was found not guilty Tuesday in the death of a homeless illegal immigrant from Guatemala who had a long history of arrests in the officer’s jurisdiction.
Former Mount Kisco Officer George Bubaris, 31, was acquitted of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. He could have faced up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
The case has brought attention to the relationship between officers and immigrants as police departments nationwide consider whether to take on increased deportation duties.”*
