A Former Kansas Officer’s Trial For a Fatal Shooting Ends in a Mistrial
The trial of a former Leavenworth police officer charged in a fatal shooting in 2017 ended in a mistrial after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict.
Matthew Harrington was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of 47-year-old Antonio Garcia Jr., who was shot by Harrington as he sat in his vehicle in Leavenworth.
The mistrial was declared on Wednesday. A court hearing was scheduled for May 7 to determine if Harrington will face a second trial, KSHB-TV reported.
