On 4-19-2016, Liang was sentenced to 5 yrs probation & 800 hrs community service because his manslaughter conviction was downgraded to criminally negligent homicide. A slap on the wrist for a trained cop who shot and killed an unarmed Black man.

The conviction galvanized the Chinese community in NYC & across the US
Many felt Liang (an Asian American) was a scapegoat. On 3-28-2016, Brooklyn DA Kenneth P. Thompson recommended to Kings County Supreme Court Judge Danny Chun that Liang serve ONLY house arrest & community service.
