In a new and improved development the Kent County DA will NOT retry the Chris Schurr case. After the case was sliced and diced in the courtroom with opposing “experts” testifying the case went to the jury. After deep deliberation and review of the facts the jury was hopelessly deadlocked. The judge then declared a mistrial and the chump azz DA decided not to proceed.
Good call…you see the jury voted 10-2 in favor of not guilty. Hey, ya really think this case should have gone to trial? Hell NO! The body cam and phone video told the story of a violently resisting suspect. After grabbing the Officers TAZER he had no other options in the use of force continuum. It cost the offender his life and disrupted this fine officers life and family as well.
The local media tried to play the decision negatively and focused of the 3 or 4 protesters. Props to Kathleen Walsh and her warriors who stood fast in the face of fierce opposition.
