White ex officer pleads guilty in Walter Scott case
Michael Slager, a former North Charleston police officer, pleaded guilty to federal civil rights charges for the 2015 shooting of Walter Scott. He faces up to life in prison with prosecutors seeking about 20 years, after a state murder case was dropped as part of the plea.
