Officer’s killer gets life term

-

A man convicted of killing an off-duty Philadelph­ia police officer during a robbery attempt expressed no remorse as he was sentenced to life in prison.

Rafael Jones, 25, was sentenced in the 2012 bus stop shooting of 40-year-old Officer Moses Walker Jr.

A codefendan­t told authoritie­s that Walker looked like an easy target as he listened to music on his headphones in street clothes after an overnight shift.

Prosecutor­s say that Jones, who has a criminal record dating back to a burglary charge at age 12, shot Walker twice as he reached for his service weapon.
