One of the former police officers found guilty in the 2007 shooting death of a 5-year-old Noble boy has had his record expunged despite the violent nature of the crime, a fact that troubles Austin Haley's parents who fear he may one day take another job in law enforcement.

Jack Haley, the boy's father, said he is surprised a judge granted the expungement given that Paul Bradley Rogers was found guilty of second-degree manslaughter, a violent felony. When records are expunged, they are essentially deleted from general public view.

Rogers, who was still in training as a Noble police officer when he accidentally shot the boy in the head in August 2007, received a deferred sentence.

He did not serve jail time, nor did Robert Shawn Richardson, who was Rogers' supervisor the day Austin Haley was shot dead.
