The jury in the case against Officer Michael Slager is deadlocked. No decision was able to be reached. The judge has provided an Allen Charge giving the jury a final instruction to go back and deliberate, try again. A “mistrial” is entirely possible.

Many of us anticipated this outcome because prosecutor Wilson overreached with the initial charge of murder. However, on the day the jury was given the case the prosecution knew/accepted they were not going to get a murder conviction, and convinced Judge Newman to provide a secondary option of voluntary manslaughter.

The judge instructed the jury that they can acquit Slager, convict him of murder or convict him of voluntary manslaughter. A murder conviction carries a sentence of 30 years to life. (link)
