Prosecutor seeks 'police brutality' case retrial
Prosecutors are to seek a retrial of a former Los Angeles police officer who was videotaped punching and slamming a handcuffed black teenager on to a squad car.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley said he would ask the judge to schedule a new trial within 60 days. A jury in the first trial was deadlocked on Tuesday on whether Jeremy Morse was guilty, and the judge declared a mistrial.
