A rare guilty verdict for a fatal police shooting
Clip: 8/30/2018 | 8m 54sVideo has Closed Captions
A former policeman was found guilty for killing a black teen. Why is conviction so rare?
A Texas jury this week convicted former officer Roy Oliver for murdering 15-year-old Jordan Edwards and sentenced him to 15 years in prison. That outcome was very different from most high-profile police shootings; it's extremely rare for on-duty officers to be tried, let alone convicted. Yamiche Alcindor talks to activist Brittany Packnett and Philip Stinson of Bowling Green State University.
