In 2016, a South Carolina judge declared a mistrial after a jury deadlocked in the murder trial of a white former police officer, Michael Thomas Slager, in the murder shooting death of a black motorist, Walter Lamar Scott. (The next year, Slager pleaded guilty in federal court to violating Scott’s civil rights and prosecutors dropped state murder charges; Slager was sentenced to twenty years in prison.) #WalterScott #MichaelSlager |
