Former NYPD Transit cop Harry Rupnarine was convicted of second-degree murder in September following a three-week trial.
Queens prosecutors say Rupnarine fatally shot Guiatree Hardat in the back of the head with a service-issued Glock 9-mm. handgun during a heated argument on a Woodhaven street on May 10, 2007.
"The defendant's senseless act robbed a beautiful young woman of her life," said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
Rupnarine, 39, told jurors he accidentally shot Hardat while trying to protect her from two knife-wielding thugs.
"We loved each other," Rupnarine told Assistant District Attorney Jack Warsawsky. "We had a lovers' quarrel over the money for the wedding."
