text:  In Washington State, Auburn police officer Jeffrey Nelson convicted of second-degree murder in the 2019 shooting death of a homeless man. A jury rejected his self-defense claim. The first conviction under a Washington State law that eases protections of officers for on-duty killings. A sentencing set for July 16th, Nelson, who has been on paid administrative leave, faces up to life in prison on the murder charge. His lawyer says she plans to file a motion for a new trial.
