Sacramento, California – A Sacramento police officer, Benjamin Jillson, has accepted a plea deal for the death of Denzil Ollen Broadhurst in a tragic accident last year. The deal entails 100 hours of community service.
Officer Jillson, while on duty and without activating the emergency lights, made a U-turn on Bell Avenue, resulting in a fatal collision with the motorcyclist. Despite the lawsuit filed by the victim’s family, the final agreement was settled at 100 hours of community service, focused on supporting veterans in honor of Broadhurst.
While the family is appreciative of the progress in the case, the community still questions the validity of the agreement. Meanwhile, Officer Jillson remains on administrative leave, and an internal investigation into his actions is set to commence.
Despite the agreement, Broadhurst’s family continues to grapple with the devastating loss of Denzil. The resolution of the civil lawsuit for $2 million provides some solace, although the road to healing still seems distant.
The impact of this tragic patrol car crash against a motorcyclist continues to resonate in the Sacramento community, leaving a painful reminder of the importance of accountability in public service.
