Tyrone Howard departs the courtroom after receiving the maximum sentence following a guilty plea in a drug charge in Manhattan Supreme Court in New York November 12, 2015. Howard, 31, accused of shooting dead a New York City police officer while in a court-approved treatment plan for drug offenders faced a judge on Thursday for violating the terms of the program. He appeared in the same Manhattan courtroom where he was allowed to plead guilty in May to selling crack cocaine in exchange for treatment instead of jail time. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson
