Michael Slager Trial Is Declared a Mistrial
On Dec. 5, 2016, Judge Clifton Newman of South Carolina declares a mistrial in the case of Michael Slager. Slager, a police officer, shot and killed an unarmed, 50-year-old black man, Walter Scott, in April 2015. The video of the shooting sparked many Black Lives Matter protests. Judge Newman calls a mistrial because the jury is unable to come to a unanimous decision, even after 22 hours of deliberation over 4 days. Scott’s family members vow to continue their fight for justice. Photo source: Grace Beahm/Post and Courier via AP, Pool
