Trooper admits to stealing from dying motorcyclist
BRIDGEPORT – A state trooper, caught on his own dashboard camera stealing a dying motorist’s cash and gold crucifix, is facing up to a year and a half in prison.
Aaron “AJ” Huntsman, a 19-year veteran of the state police, pleaded guilty Wednesday afternoon under the Alford Doctrine to third-degree larceny and tampering with evidence – both felonies.
Although Huntsman, 45, could have faced up to 10 years in prison on the two charges, Superior Court Judge Robert Devlin said he would impose a term in prison of 16 months, followed by five years of probation.
Huntsman’s lawyer, Ryan McGuigan, does have the right to argue for a lesser term when Huntsman is sentenced Oct. 3
Huntsman walked out of the courtroom with a big smile on his face following the hearing. He declined comment.

Good morning, hobbit709! 
I don't post so much on DU anymore, but I remember that you lost your sweet Donna around the same time my dad was dying of pancreatic cancer. I apologize if I didn't express my condolences at that time. You've come through fire and survived. I hope your 64th finds you peaceful and embraced by your tribe of family and friends (including DUers)!
