A judge in the Bronx has found the NYPD Sergeant who shot and killed a bat-wielding mentally ill woman in the Bronx not guilty.

Judge Robert Neary's verdict was announced just after 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Sgt. Hugh Barry, 32, chose to forego a jury trial.

Sgt. Barry did not flinch as the judge handed down his verdict. He was found not guilty of murder, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.

Barry shot and killed 66-year-old Deborah Danner inside the bedroom of her Bronx apartment in October of 2016. Danner suffered from schizophrenia, and her sister called police to the apartment after the two had an argument.
