"Justice Denied: Mistrial Declared in FedEx Driver Shooting Trial Due to Withheld Evidence"

TL;DR Summary
A mistrial has been declared in the trial of two white men accused of shooting at a Black FedEx delivery driver in Mississippi after a police officer withheld evidence from the prosecution and defense. The defendants were charged with attempted first-degree murder and other offenses. The judge cited errors by the Brookhaven Police Department detective, including failing to provide a videotaped statement from the victim and improperly testifying about finding guns and shell casings. The defense requested the mistrial, and the attorney for the victim is calling for a federal investigation into the police department's conduct. A new trial will be scheduled.
