  • 6 years ago

on Tuesday, Defense experts at the sentencing hearing for a white former police officer who killed an unarmed black man in South Carolina said that cellphone video indicated the two men fought over Michael slager’s stun gun before the shooting. The testimony came as lawyers for Slager seek to prove he feared for his safety when he shot Walter Scott after an April 2015 traffic stop in North Charleston.
