Jurors in Michael Slager trial continue deliberations

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Jurors in the Michael Slager murder trial were well into a second day of deliberations Thursday, in the case of a white former patrolman whose fatal shooting of a black motorist was captured on cellphone video that stunned the nation. Slager is charged in the death of 50-year-old Walter Scott, who was shot five times in the back as he ran from a traffic stop in April of last year. During his closing argument Wednesday, defense attorney Andy Savage argued that the brief video seen widely in the media and on the internet doesn't tell the whole story of how Slager yelled at Scott to stop and fired his stun gun three times. [...] they have to be held responsible when they mess up, she concluded.
