After Mistrials, Prosecutor Drops Case Against Ex-Cop Who Killed Motorist

The former University of Cincinnati police officer who fatally shot an unarmed motorist during a traffic stop will not face another trial. So reports CBS News.

Tensing, who is white, shot Sam DuBose, who was black, after pulling him over for having a missing front license plate in 2015. DuBose said he feared he would be killed.
