The jury in the trial of Tulsa, Okla., Police Offi- cer Betty Shelby deliber- ated for nine hours Wednesday before finding her not guilty of manslaughter in the shoot- ing death of unarmed Black motorist Terence Crutcher.
Just hours into the de- liberations, defense Attor- ney Shannon McMurray requested a mistrial, alleging prosecu- torial misconduct, but the judge denied the request.
Shelby, 43, was charged with first-degree felony manslaughter as previously reported in the September 2016 fatal shooting of Crutcher on a Tulsa highway after his car broke down.
Video of the shooting showed Crutcher raising his hands as he walked to his vehicle, and in the audio, you can hear the pilot of a helicopter over- heard stating that Crutcher looked like a “bad dude.” Earlier this week, Shelby stated that it was the scariest moment of her life and that she was filled with fear.
Tulsa police said that Cruther was not comply- ing with their demands when he was shot, but the video seemed to show a to- tally different story.
