Ex-police officer to plead guilty over shooting of black motorist in US
A white former South Carolina police officer plans to plead guilty to violating the civil rights of an unarmed black motorist he shot and killed as the man ran from a 2015 traffic stop, according to a copy of the plea agreement.
The 13-page document also says that as part of the deal, state prosecutors will drop a murder charge against Michael Slager, effectively bringing to a close the parallel cases against the former North Charleston officer.
