Ohio prosecutor weighs options after ex-officer’s mistrial
CINCINNATI — Prosecutors will decide before the end of the month whether to continue the case against a white Ohio police officer charged in the shooting death of a black man during a traffic stop.
The ex-officer’s racially charged murder trial ended Saturday with a deadlocked jury and a mistrial.
It’s now up to Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters to decide whether to drop the case or retry former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing.
