Misael Chica-Arguenta was convicted yesterday of three counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter, but acquitted of seven other charges, after firing at Memphis police in 2014. The jury found him not guilty of attempting to kill two officers who were in the vehicle Chica-Arguenta fired on. Chica-Arguenta said he only intended to kill himself that night. Micah Gates, Chica-Arguenta’s attorney, argued "this was a suicide by cop.” Chica-Arguenta will be sentenced in March, The Commercial Appeal reports.
