Executors of Sean Bell Not Guilty



The scene unfolded outside the courthouse Friday as three police officers were cleared of all charges in the 2006 shooting of Bell, who died in a hail of 50 bullets on his wedding day.

On the dawn of his wedding day, Bell, 23, was killed by four rounds while leaving his bachelor’s party at Kalua Cabaret in Queens. His friend Trent Benefield survived after taking three rounds as did Joseph Guzman, who was hit 19 times.

The justice system “let me down,” Nicole Paultre Bell said Saturday, a day after a not-guilty verdict for three New York City police officers charged in the killing of her finance, Sean Bell.

On March 16, 2007, a Queens grand jury voted to indict three detectives in the case, charging the two who had fired the bulk of the shots,Detective Michael Oliver and Detective Gescard F. Isnora, with first-degree and second-degree manslaughter, and the third, Detective Marc Cooper, with reckless endangerment.
