An Ohio judge has declared a mistrial in the case of a white former
police officer accused of murdering an unarmed black driver during a
traffic stop last year.
The jury on Saturday was unable to reach a
verdict for Ray Tensing, 26, charged with voluntary manslaughter in the
shooting of 43-year-old Samuel DuBose — an incident caught on police
bodycam.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Megan Shanahan accepted the jury's
deadlock Saturday morning. The case is now back in the hands of
prosecutors, who must decide whether they will retry the case or dismiss
it. In the meantime, Tensing will remain free on $1 million bond.
