2019-03-23 | Antwon Rose II: White cop cleared in shooting of black teen
'Former East Pittsburgh Police Officer Michael Rosfeld was charged with homicide for killing Antwon Rose II last June. '
'The prosecution said Rosfeld gave inconsistent statements about the shooting, including whether he thought Rose was armed. '
'The panel of seven men and five women – including three black jurors – saw video of the fatal confrontation, which showed Rose falling to the ground after being hit. '
' Hester told a judge that he, not Rose, did the shooting. '
'But the former officer told the jury he thought Rose or another suspect had a gun pointed at him, insisting he fired his weapon to protect himself and the community. '
