Court: Sister of cop killer Maurice Clemmons wrongly convicted

A state appeals court has overturned the conviction and dismissed the case against LaTanya Clemmons.

She was found guilty of helping getaway driver, Darcus Allen, after four Lakewood police officers were killed in 2009.

In its decision, the court writes that there’s plenty of evidence to prove Maurice Clemmons committed the murders, that Allen was his getaway driver and that Latonya Clemmons was with Allen shortly after the shootings.

The court says there is not enough evidence that Latonya knew about what Allen had done, or that police were looking for him.

An earlier version of this story had incorrectly reported that the case was overturned by the State Supreme Court.
