TL;DR Summary

A mistrial has been declared in the trial of a White father and son accused of attempted murder for allegedly chasing and shooting at a Black FedEx driver in Mississippi. The mistrial was granted due to errors made by a police detective who admitted to improper testimony and withholding evidence. The driver, D'Monterrio Gibson, believes he was targeted because of his race. The mistrial has caused frustration and uncertainty for prosecutors, who are unsure if a new trial can be scheduled before the end of the year. Gibson's attorney has requested a Justice Department investigation into the police department's conduct, alleging potential obstruction of justice.
