This trial has been 3 years in the making and was pretty big news when it happened. Off duty officer hosts a party and everyone enjoys some drinks. The cop wakes up to the victim rummaging through his pockets and asks him to leave. The man refuses and a struggle ensues. It was alleged the cop compressed the man's neck and chest to a degree that he died from a lack of oxygen. Defense lobbied that a combination of cocaine use and asthma caused the man's death. Ultimately jurors sided with the officer and have acquitted him.
