"White father and son acquitted in attempted murder case of Black FedEx driver due to mistrial"

A mistrial was declared in the case of a White father and son charged with the attempted murder of a Black FedEx driver in Brookhaven, Mississippi. The defense attorneys requested the mistrial after a video was not turned over to the prosecution or defense by the Brookhaven Police Department. The defendants face charges of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and shooting into a motor vehicle. The mistrial has delayed justice for the victim and his family, and the defense's withholding of potentially crucial evidence necessitated the mistrial.
