PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Louis C.K is Neutral . HBO is severing ties with  Louis C.K.  following a New York Times report that the comedian sexually harassed five women  with allegations spanning back to the late '90s.
The premium cable network has confirmed that it has cut  C.K.  from its Night of Too Many Stars charity telecast  an annual event which raises funds for autism services. HBO also announced that it will be pulling the comedian's stand-up specials and previous TV series â including Lucky Louie â from its on-demand platforms.
â Louis C.K.  will no longer be participating in the Night of Too Many Stars: America Unites for Autism Programs  which will be presented live on HBO on November 18 â an HBO spokesperson said  per Variety. âIn addition  HBO is removing  Louis C.K. âs past projects from its On Demand services.â
Meanwhile  FX Networks â the home of  C.K. 's Emmy-winning comedy Louie  where the showrunner has an overall deal and also executive produces Pamela Adlon's Better Things and Zach Galifianakis' Baskets â issued a statement in response to the report.
âWe are obviously very troubled by the allegations about  Louis C.K.  published in The New York Times today. The network has received no allegations of misconduct by  Louis C.K.  related to any of our 5 shows produced together over the past 8 years. FX Networks and FXP take all necessary actions to protect our employees and thoroughly investigate any allegations of misconduct within our workplace. That said  the matter is currently under review.â
Earlier Thursday  the premiere for  C.K. 's upcoming film  I Love You  Daddy  was canceled ahead of the New York Times' story  with the indie's distributor  The Orchard  revealing that the release plan for the film was being reviewed.
âIn light of the allegations concerning  Louis C.K.  referenced in todayâs New York Times  we are cancelling tonightâs premiere of I Love You  Daddy " the statement read. "There is never a place for the behavior detailed in these allegations. As a result  we are giving careful consideration to the timing and release of the film and continuing to review the situation.â
 C.K.  was also scheduled to appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday night before canceling his appearance  with William H. Macy now set to replace him as a guest  according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Allegations against  C.K.  come on the heels of accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against a number of high-profile Hollywood figures including Harvey Weinstein  James Toback  Kevin Spacey  Roy Price  Brett Ratner  Ed Westwick  Steven Seagal  and Jeffrey Tambor. Hours after the  C.K.  report broke  an allegation of harassment against Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner also surfaced.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dante Servin is Neutral . There's  no question that Chicago police detective Dante Servin killed Rekia Boyd when he fired five shots at a group of people in a dark West Side alley .  The question  is whether  his  actions were justified because  he  had a reasonable fear that  his  life was in danger.
We'll never know the answer  because Cook County Judge Dennis Porter got stuck on a different question: Should  Servin  have been charged with a more serious crime than involuntary manslaughter?
 Servin 's trial ended Monday with a directed verdict of not guilty because Porter decided prosecutors had aimed too low.
 Servin  was off duty and in  his  personal car when  he  got in a shouting match with the group in March 2012.  His  lawyers say  he  drew  his  gun and fired when Antonio Cross pulled an object from  his  waistband and pointed it at  Servin .  Boyd  was hit in the back of the head.  She  died two days later.  She  was 22.
After three days of testimony  Porter abruptly ended  Servin 's bench trial. He said prosecutors had shown "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Servin killed  Boyd   and that the officer fired the shots knowing they were likely to cause great bodily harm or death. Those elements would add up to first-degree murder  the judge said  unless  Servin  could prove he acted in self defense. But  Servin  never had to make that case.

To win a conviction on the involuntary manslaughter charge  prosecutors needed to prove that  Servin  acted recklessly — without regard for the risks.
 Servin  couldn't be convicted of first-degree murder because  he  was charged with involuntary manslaughter. And  he  couldn't be convicted of involuntary manslaughter  Porter said  because there was no evidence of reckless behavior.
The appellate courts said the evidence supported a first-degree murder conviction and the defendants weren't entitled to be tried on a less serious charge. Their convictions were upheld.  Servin 's outcome turns that on  its  head.
We asked around and found some attorneys who agreed with Porter's reasoning and some who didn't. It's not subject to appeal  because  Servin  was found not guilty. The case is over.
 Servin  did not help matters with  his  comments to reporters after the verdict.  He  repeated  his  contention that Boyd's death was an accident — let's be clear   the judge  said no such thing — and said  he  was lucky not to be "a police death statistic."
"Antonio Cross is a would-be cop killer  and that's all I have to say "  Servin  said.
 Servin  was making an off-duty burger run in  his  personal car when the confrontation occurred.  He  was not putting  his  life on the line to serve and protect.
Cross is not a would-be cop killer.  His  "weapon" turned out to be a cell phone. An aggravated assault charge against  him  was dropped in March 2013  the same day the city agreed to a $4.5 million wrongful death settlement with Boyd's relatives.
