A jury on Tuesday convicted former Phoenix police Officer Richard Chrisman of aggravated assault in a 2010 confrontation inside a South Phoenix trailer that left an unarmed man dead but deadlocked on two other charges, including second-degree murder.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Warren Granville set a 1 p.m. hearing on aggravating factors on the assault count, which may include testimony about emotional harm to the victim's family. The judge also ordered that Chrisman be held in custody until sentencing given the aggravated assault conviction involved a weapon.
Chrisman's wife sobbed uncontrollably outside the courtroom following the reading of the verdict.
So is it true that he can't be a cop anymore (after he gets out of prison)? SOmeone said on twitter if you get charged with Agg. Assault then you can't legally own a gun, is that true?
I think you are correct. I can't remember if this was charged as a class 2 felony or a class 6 felony. Regardless, he will never be a cop again and may not own a gun. The best he can hope for is working as a crossing guard holding up a stop sign. :facepalm:

"Team HLN ‏@TeamHLN 7m
Another hung jury for Jodi Arias prosecutor Juan Martinez: http://bit.ly/1a1hJLk"
Seriously? HLN are really sore loosers, for all the "Juan Bashing" they did during the Arias trial, they should just shut up. I doubt any of those talking heads have the track record of convictions Juan has.
According to the docket it's F3.
Wow. Presumptive term of 7.5 years.
