Mistrial in Slager murder case ends jury deadlock
A South Carolina judge declared a mistrial in the murder trial of former North Charleston officer Michael Slager after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict in the Walter Scott case. The 11 white and 1 black panel deliberated about 22 hours across four days before reporting they could not convict on murder or voluntary manslaughter. Slager faces possible life in prison if convicted of murder, while a voluntary manslaughter verdict would carry 2 to 30 years.
