   Now, he will remain behind bars for life after his appeal was   
   denied.   
      
   The Maryland Court of Appeals upheld the 2019 conviction and   
   life sentence without the possibility of parole that was handed   
   to Dawnta Harris, now 20, for the death of Baltimore County   
   Police Officer First Class Amy Caprio.   
      
   After an eight-day trial, Harris was convicted and found guilty   
   by a jury of felony murder.   
      
   According to prosecutors, in May 2018, Caprio responded to a 911   
   call after a home in the Perry Hall neighborhood on Linwen Way   
   had been burglarized. When she arrived, Capiro blocked Harris,   
   then 16, who was driving a stolen Jeep Wrangler with her patrol   
   car.   
      
   She ordered the defendant to get out of the vehicle. Though   
   Harris partially obeyed after opening the driver-side door but   
   changed his mind and ran over Caprio instead.   
      
   The entire incident was captured on Caprio’s body camera. It   
   showed she fired one shot at the windshield before she was   
   struck. The victim was rushed to the hospital, where she died   
   later.

   Harris’ defense lawyer for the appeal, Megan Coleman, argued the   
   felony murder charge was not applicable. She told the court her   
   client should have been charged with vehicular manslaughter. In   
   addition, Coleman argued the lower court never considered her   
   client’s age, and the sentence was unconstitutional due to the   
   2012 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.   
      
   Coleman’s argument was based on the research that children’s   
   brains haven’t fully developed, which should be an essential   
   component when sentencing juveniles.   
      
   “Specifically, the appeal provided a framework for the General   
   Assembly to formulate precise sentencing factors as it relates   
   to youth and the attendant circumstances before imposing a life   
   sentence on a juvenile offender,” said Coleman, according to   
   Washington Post.   
      
   According to The Washington Post, prosecutors sought the felony   
   murder charge due to the aggravating factor that the murder   
   occurred during the commission of another felony. However, the   
   state’s highest court determined Harris’ case had no merit since   
   the felony murder charge did not preempt the state statute on   
   vehicular manslaughter.   
      
   In addition, they ruled the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision based   
   on mandatory sentences of life for minors without parole which   
   was deemed unconstitutional, had no merit in Harris’ case.   
      
   “Justice prevailed again today in the case against the suspect   
   charged in the heinous murder of Police Officer First Class Amy   
   Caprio. I want to thank the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s   
   Office and all of the members of our department who worked   
   tirelessly to bring justice for Amy. Please continue to keep her   
   family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers,”   
   said Baltimore County Police Chief Melissa Hyatt, according to   
   Fox 45 News.
