Officer Convicted of Felony Excessive Force Allowed To Plead To Misdemeanor

Los Angeles sheriff's deputy Trevor Kirk is convicted of a federal felony for using excessive force by a jury, but the new administration petitions the court to reduce his offense to a misdemeanor. It does, and the officer is sentenced to four months. Can the victim oppose the reduction? Ninth Circuit: Our hands are tied. 

All four members of the original prosecutors withdrew from the case after the new plea deal was presented, and three joined dozens of others who’ve resigned their jobs completely.
