New trial weighed for former officer

CINCINNATI — A prosecutor is considering whether to try a third time to get a conviction of a former police officer in a racially charged fatal shooting. Ray Tensing, a white man who at the time was an officer at the University of Cincinnati, killed Sam DuBose, 43, an unarmed black motorist, during a 2015 traffic stop. Two juries have hung on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter. The Hamilton County prosecutor expects to make a decision in the next week or two. (AP)
