If there was ever a case for the death penalty, this is the one. To bad we live in New York where they care more about trial lawyers than they do about the lives of the very people that are here to protect us from the scum like Phillips.

Phillips Gets Another Life Sentence For Shooting NY Trooper - News
ELMIRA, N.Y. — An escaped convict who shot and wounded a New York state trooper during a traffic stop in June drew a sentence of 40 years to life in prison Wednesday, a day after he was given life without parole for shooting two other troopers, one of whom died.

Ralph “Bucky” Phillips, 44, whose dramatic capture in a Pennsylvania field in September ended the longest manhunt in state history, once again unsuccessfully asked to withdraw his guilty plea before being sentenced in Chemung County Court.

He drew the maximum penalty for the attempted murder of Trooper Sean Brown, who was shot when he approached a car Phillips had pulled to the side of a road near Elmira on June 10. Brown has since recovered and returned to duty. Phillips pleaded guilty to the attack in November.

On Tuesday, in a courtroom 150 miles away in Chautauqua County, Phillips was sentenced to life in prison without parole for shooting troopers Joseph Longobardo and Donald Baker Jr. while they staked out the rural home of Phillips’ former girlfriend on Aug. 31.

Longobardo had his leg amputated and died three days later. Baker was shot through the torso and was hospitalized almost three months.

While pleading guilty last month, Phillips said he knew police had his relatives and friends under surveillance when he fired at Longobardo and Baker with a stolen high-powered rifle. He has since sent letters from jail saying he believed the men he shot were bounty hunters.

Phillips was also sentenced Tuesday to a prison term of 25 years to life for escaping from an Erie County jail in April by using an industrial can opener to cut a hole in a kitchen ceiling. He spent five months on the run before being captured just across the Pennsylvania line on Sept. 8.
