Garrett Trammell, 26, stood expressionless with his hands in his pockets as his family tried to encourage him.
Nearby, several Edmond Police Department officers milled about or stood quietly in pairs. It was about 3:30 p.m. on Thursday in the 8th floor lobby of the Oklahoma County Courthouse,
About 15 minutes later, Trammell left the courthouse with his hands in handcuffs behind his back.
Oklahoma County District Court Judge Amy Palumbo sentenced him to 25 years in prison for plowing his pickup into former Edmond police Sgt. Joseph Wells , a highly respected motorcycle officer with 18 years on the force.
During the hearing, Wells sat in a wheelchair, wearing shorts that revealed his left leg amputated below the knee. After the hearing, Wells’ wife wheeled him into an elevator.
They had to pass by a remaining group of Trammell’s loved ones who consoled each other.
