A judge sentenced a former Miami-Dade police officer to 364 days in jail for tackling a woman to the ground.

Alejandro Giraldo, a veteran officer, was found guilty of battery and official misconduct for lying in a police report. Now he'll spend almost a year behind bars.

It's a sentencing that brought Dyma Loving, the victim in this case, to tears. She said the ruling restores her faith in the justice system.
