A man who shot and nearly killed a Suffolk County police officer has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. The sentencing took place after an emotional court hearing.

During the hearing, Officer Lafosse expressed his inability to forgive the attacker, 21-year-old Janelle Funderburk. He stated that he was just trying to do his job when Funderburk attempted to kill him.

Attackerโ€™s Background

Funderburk has a history of criminal activity, having been charged seven times before he turned 18. Officials argued that he should not have been on the street, as he had been arrested just one month before the shooting.

Funderburkโ€™s mother, through a statement read by a friend, highlighted the mental health crisis and the opioid epidemic, stating that her son is schizophrenic and addicted to opioids. His attorney claimed the system had failed him.

Judgeโ€™s Statement

The judge declared Funderburk a menace to society and stated that he would have sentenced him to more time if possible. The sentencing emphasized that those who attempt to kill a police officer in Suffolk County would face severe consequences.
