Jury selection struggles lead to mistrial motion in APD officer murder case.

A judge granted a mistrial for an Austin police officer accused of murder in the 2020 shooting of Michael Ramos due to issues with the jury selection process. The trial will be rescheduled for a future date. The court will order three panels of 100 potential jurors and move to a bigger courtroom for jury selection. The victim's mother has filed a wrongful death civil lawsuit against the City of Austin and the officer. The officer also faces charges related to a 2019 shooting.
