TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Leon County judge this week sentenced three men to life in prison for a 2023 home invasion that left a Tallahassee police officer wounded by gunfire.<\/p>\n
John\u2019Darious Wright, Rahyim Sanders and Tyrell Guinnie were convicted of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n
Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell addressed the case and the sentencing, including remarks Officer Caleb Babb shared during the sentencing hearing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI put on my gun and vest and went to work as I would any other day. What I didn\u2019t know is that later that evening I would be fighting for my life,\u201d Babb said.<\/p>\n
Revell said the sentencing brought the case to a close \u201cthrough the careful work of our justice system,\u201d and thanked the State Attorney\u2019s Office, the jury and others involved in the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile justice has been served, the impact of that day will remain with Officer Babb, his family, and every member of the Tallahassee Police Department,\u201d Revell said. He also thanked the community for its support throughout the case and for continuing to support officers \u201cwho put on the badge each day, knowing the risks, yet choosing to serve anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Leon County judge this week sentenced three men to life in prison for a 2023…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-332977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
