Activists, lawmakers call for maximum sentence for Robert Olsen

ATLANTA - State lawmakers and activists are calling for a maximum 35-year prison sentence for former DeKalb County police officer Robert Olsen.

Earlier this month, a jury convicted Olsen of aggravated assault and other charges in the 2015 shooting death of naked, unarmed veteran Anthony Hill.

The aggravated assault charge carries a maximum of 20 years and the additional charges Olsen was found guilty on carry a five-year maximum sentence.

Olsen will be sentenced on November 1.
