A former BART police officer is expected to be released from jail Monday after doing his time for involuntary manslaughter for fatally shooting an unarmed passenger on New Year's Day 2009, the victim's family said Thursday.
Johannes Mehserle, 29, was sentenced to two years for shooting Oscar Grant in the back while the 22-year-old Hayward man lay face down on the platform at Oakland's Fruitvale BART Station after being pulled from a train.
