I guess they did!

Three detectives were acquitted of all charges Friday in the killing of an unarmed man on his wedding day.

In a Queens courtroom Justice Arthur Cooperman delivered the verdict in a courtroom packed with spectators, including victim Sean Bell’s fiancee and parents. There were at least another 200 people gathered outside the building.

Bell, a 23-year-old black man, was leaving his bachelor party with two friends and was killed in a hail of gunfire outside a strip club in Queens on Nov. 25, 2006 — his wedding day.

Responsible for the murder, Officers Michael Oliver, 36, and Gescard Isnora, 29, stood trial for manslaughter while Officer Marc Cooper, 40, was charged only with reckless endangerment. Two other shooters weren’t charged. Oliver squeezed off 31 shots; Isnora fired 11 rounds; and Cooper shot four times.

All the officers were acquitted in the killing.
