For the second time, a federal trial in the 2020 shooting death of Alvin Cole by then-Wauwatosa police officer Joseph Mensah ended in a hung jury on Thursday.
Motley and Cade took issue with the presence of uniformed Wauwatosa officers.
Shamsi, who was the closest officer to Cole, testified that Cole and the gun didn’t move after Cole fell.
When Olson left the stand, he took a seat in the gallery near Mensah’s wife and the other Wauwatosa officers.
Despite the hung jury, Cole said that she is encouraged because “somebody sees that my son was killed for no reason,” and that she believed her son was killed as he attempted to surrender.
