In news from Alabama, prosecutors say they plan to seek a retrial after a jury deadlocked in the trial of a Madison police officer in a case that left an Indian grandfather partially paralyzed. In February, Officer Eric Parker and other officers approached Sureshbhai Patel as he was taking a walk, after a neighbor called to report a “skinny black guy” in the neighborhood. Dash camera footage shows police slamming Patel from a standing position face-first into the ground. On Friday, a judge declared a mistrial after a jury deadlocked on a single charge against Officer Parker of violating Patel’s civil rights.
