Mistrial declared over police shooting of black motorist in South Carolina

A South Carolina judge has declared a mistrial after a jury was deadlocked in the murder trial of a white former police officer charged over the shooting death of an unarmed black motorist.

A panel of one black and 11 white jurors - who had seemed close to a verdict to convict on Friday, with apparently only one holdout - said on Monday they were unable to reach a unanimous decision after deliberating for more than 22 hours over four days.
