Jurors in the #TensingRetrial say they are deadlocked, Judge Ghiz sending them back to keep trying. Hung jury is a real possibility. @WCPO

Hung jury. Vote is 6-6 and jury cannot get past that vote. Mistrial.

Charges dismissed against former Univ. of Cincinnati officer who shot unarmed driver

A judge has dismissed charges against the former University of Cincinnati police officer who fatally shot an unarmed driver.

Charges dropped against Ray Tensing in fatal shooting of Sam DuBose

However, Judge Leslie Ghiz denied the defense motion to actually acquit Tensing.

Prosecutor Joe Deters had said he would not try Tensing a third time. Juries in two different trials could not unanimously agree on a verdict. Mistrials were declared in both.

Deters said he had come to the conclusion to officially dismiss the case after talking to jurors. He said they told him he would never get 12 people to agree to convict a police officer.

What a disaster. This is so wrong. I can't believe they ended up with 2 hung juries on this case, now the guy goes free. No charges. Thanks Joe Deters.

If you really want to feel crappy about the state of humanity watch some videos of the Tensing support rally. Depressing and ugly.

Zero surprise. A 99.99% chance the same thing will happen in Minneapolis, AGAIN. The police in this country are a group that operate totally above the laws, with complete immunity. It's only going to get worse as long as juries continue to empower the police to act like this.

There have been so many times I've thought "Oh no, THIS time is different. The cop will be charged." But nope, never seems to happen.
