An administrative judge’s recommendation Friday that NYPD cop Daniel Pantaleo be fired over the 2014 death of Eric Garner is far from the end of the controversial case.
Here are the next steps:
- The Civilian Complaint Review Board, which prosecuted the case against Pantaleo at the departmental hearing, and Stuart London, the officer’s attorney, have two weeks to review the findings by NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Trials Rosemarie Maldonado.
- The CCRB and London have the opportunity to submit comments or motions either contesting or supporting the findings during that period.
- Police Commissioner James O’Neill will review the final report and decide if he’ll follow Maldonado’s recommendation or not.
- Police sources said Pantaleo could also choose to resign before the commissioner’s ruling.
