The mother of a man killed in
1998 by a New Milford Ct. cop says she's pleased the cop who shot her son has
committed suicide. Cop Scott Smith was
found dead in a bedroom of his Danbury home last week of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Smith received probation after pleading no contest in 2004 to
a misdemeanor negligent homicide charge in the death of 19-year-old Franklyn
Reid, who was shot after a foot chase.
Reid's mother, Pearlylyn Reid,
tells the News Times of Danbury Tuesday that she feels the suicide was justice
and we agree with her.
