Man who shot trooper in roadside battle gets up to 110 years
EASTON, Pa. (AP) — A man convicted of attempted murder for opening fire on two Pennsylvania state troopers during a traffic stop last fall was sentenced Friday to up to 110 years in prison.
Daniel Clary, 22, shot and critically wounded 13-year veteran Cpl. Seth Kelly, who was helping another trooper arrest Clary in Northampton County. Clary had been pulled over for speeding and failed field sobriety tests.
A judge sentenced Clary to 55 ½ to 110 years in state prison.
Kelly, who was shot four times and nearly bled to death, spending 12 days in a medically-induced coma, confronted his assailant in court.
"If you would have cooperated ... and not taken the law into your own hands, none of this would have happened," Kelly told Clary.
