Trump Grants Full Pardons to DC Officers Sutton and Zabavsky in Hylton-Brown Case
Jan 23, 2025, 12:30 AM
President Donald Trump has granted full and unconditional pardons to two former Washington, D.C., police officers, Terence Sutton and Andrew Zabavsky, who were convicted in connection with the 2020 death of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown. The officers were involved in a police chase in October 2020 that resulted in Hylton-Brown's death after he was struck by a vehicle during the pursuit. Hylton-Brown was riding a scooter without a helmet at the time. Sutton was convicted of second-degree murder, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and obstruction of justice, and was sentenced to 66 months in prison. Zabavsky was convicted of conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice, receiving a 48-month sentence. The pardons were announced by the White House, following efforts by the D.C. Police Union to secure clemency for the officers, whom they described as having been wrongly convicted.
