Part 1: Momodu Gondo on Getting Shot as a Cop, Shooter Found Not Guilty Even Though He Testified
--------
Ex-Cop Momodu Gondo revealed that his lawyer advised him to pray before sentencing, despite his cooperation with prosecutors. Facing serious federal charges, Gondo initially planned to fight the case but changed course after learning co-defendants were cooperating. He pled guilty to conspiracy and admitted to faking overtime and obstructing law enforcement by alerting co-defendants to investigations. Although he cooperated fully, Gondo was uncertain about the sentence he would receive, given the high-profile nature of the case. Prosecutors ultimately recommended 121 months—about ten years—with potential for early release due to good behavior. His lawyer’s candid warning underscored the unpredictable and harsh realities of federal cases, especially for former law enforcement officers like Gondo. While others involved received longer sentences after trials, Gondo ended up with one of the lighter terms among convicted officers.
