“The North Charleston, S.C., police officer who fatally shot Walter Scott as he fled a traffic stop this year was indicted by a grand jury Monday on a charge of murder.
This indictment comes two months after Michael Slager was charged with murder for shooting and killing Scott, an event recorded by a bystander’s cellphone and shared widely on cable news and social media. Slager was arrested April 7 and fired from the North Charleston Police Department.
Scarlett A. Wilson, the prosecutor for Charleston County, announced the indictment at a news conference Monday morning, but she said there still is no timetable for when the trial will occur.”
