Ohio prosecutors said last month they would not pursue a third trial, but the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio is considering whether it will file civil rights charges against Tensing.
|
|
Yet as the policy has rolled out, we've seen the sharp limitations of cameras and video — not just in the Tensing trial, but also other cases in which video provided evidence of what happened.
|
|
While prosecutors in June told the jury that Tensing made a tactical error when he reached his left arm inside DuBose's car and then escalated the problem by firing his weapon, Tensing's attorney argued otherwise.

Despite his reputation (or perhaps because of it), Deters was aggressive in his presentation of the case, calling Tensing a liar for claiming that DuBose was speeding off as Tensing's arm was trapped in the car.

Madison: My fear of horses is definitely not gone, and I don't really see myself ever being able to be around them without tensing up, but I do feel more in control of my emotions when I encounter them.
|
|
As in the first trial, Mathews tried to insinuate that DuBose was a drug dealer and a deadbeat who, if not fully deserving his demise, instigated enough reasonable fear in Tensing to present just cause for his grisly killing.
|
|
Speaking levelly from the witness stand, Mr. Tensing, 27, said he believed in the moment that his arm was tangled in the steering wheel of the car, although he later realized that it was pinned down by Mr. DuBose.
|
|
During Mr. Tensing's first trial, it was revealed that he was wearing a T-shirt that showed the Confederate battle flag under his uniform at the time of the shooting, though Mr. Tensing denied the shirt held any significance.
|
|
Just 10 days after the shooting on July 19, 2015, Mr. Deters charged Mr. Tensing with murder and voluntary manslaughter, and released body camera footage that showed a routine traffic stop devolve into violence in a matter of seconds.
|
|
A week after the shooting, following lawsuits filed by local media outlets demanding the release of the footage, Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters published the video and indicted Tensing for murder as well as a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter.

In Ohio, Ray Tensing, a former University of Cincinnati police officer, is facing his second trial on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Samuel DuBose, an unarmed black man whose death in 2015 was recorded by a body camera.
|

"I've been doing this for over 30 years," the prosecutor, Joseph T. Deters, said, by turns sighing and shaking his head, before distributing a video in which Officer Raymond M. Tensing killed Samuel DuBose with a shot to the head.
|
|
"This is the most asinine act I've ever seen a police officer make" The incident report filed by University of Cincinnati police falsely claimed Tensing was dragged by the car, and that he was almost run over by the vehicle.

On Friday, it was jurors here who were hopelessly deadlocked in the retrial of Raymond M. Tensing, the former University of Cincinnati police officer who faced charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter for fatally shooting Samuel DuBose, an unarmed motorist, in 2015.
|
|
"I just misperceived that my arm was caught in the steering wheel," he told a prosecutor, Seth Tieger, who asked him about testimony of a video analyst earlier in the trial who said Mr. Tensing had not been dragged by the car.

And Johel recalled the green eyes set in the angular face, and her rapid breathing, and the tensing of her hands on his chest; how her body had paused and gathered strength; how her thin musical voice had made a sound almost like a song.

On Monday, the two sides delivered their closing arguments, with the prosecution claiming that Tensing had repeatedly changed his story about the incident, had been the beneficiary of a "good ole boy" network among Cincinnati police, and had shown no genuine remorse for DuBose's death.
|
|
This month, members of the office of Benjamin C. Glassman, the United States attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, met with members of Mr. Deters's staff, and are reviewing evidence and assessing whether to investigate Mr. Tensing for violating Mr. DuBose's civil rights.

Last week, Seth Tieger, a prosecutor in the Cincinnati case, described video as "the ultimate witness" in the retrial of Raymond M. Tensing, a former University of Cincinnati police officer charged with murder and voluntary manslaughter for fatally shooting Samuel DuBose, an unarmed motorist, in 2015.
|
|
Yet even with video showing the entire sequence of events, and even with a prosecutor friendly with police like Deters calling the shooting "unwarranted," Deters this week said that he'll drop the case against Tensing — after not one but two mistrials caused by a hung jury.

Imagine if you'd been taught as a teen exactly how the clitoris works, where to find the G-spot ("two knuckles deep, toward the belly, with a walnut-like texture"), or how, simply by breathing and tensing, a woman can suck a pair of fingers slowly into her vagina.

We are part of that tribe even when we are by ourselves, whether listening to music (that other people created), watching a basketball game on television (our own muscles tensing as the players run and jump), or preparing a spreadsheet for a sales meeting (anticipating the boss's reactions).

Reading its first few chapters was as close as anything to my first experience reading The Handmaid's Tale: In both cases, I could feel all my muscles tensing up, and I became very aware of how I was holding my body so that I took up as little space as possible.

I spent much of my formative years chanting "I must, I must, I must increase my bust" while tensing my pecs (thanks you, Judy Blume) in an effort to get my boobs to look as big and cleavage-y as the girls in magazines and on TV. But it didn't work.

On Saturday, Judge Megan Shanahan ordered a mistrial in the murder trial of Ray Tensing, a 26-year-old former police officer who shot 43-year-old Sam DuBose in the head after pulling him over for a missing front license plate in July 2015, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

In a split second, the video turned violent, and the footage shaky: Mr. DuBose pulled the door closed with his left hand and restarted the car with his right hand; Mr. Tensing reached into the car with his left arm, yelled "Stop!" twice and with his right hand fired his gun once, into Mr. DuBose's head.
|
|
Mr. Tensing, who took the stand in his own defense during both of his trials, said he believed his arm was caught in the steering wheel — an assertion prosecutors used the video to challenge — and that he shot "to stop the threat" because he thought he was going to be dragged by Mr. DuBose in his car.

This would likely save lives: There are many instances of simple traffic stops turning into deadly situations (Ray Tensing, a Cincinnati police officer, was recently cleared of murder after he shot and killed Sam DuBose during a traffic stop, for instance.) Autonomous vehicles won't spring up and be equally spread out among society over night, though.
|
|
It comes amid a series of acquittals of police officers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Oklahoma who, like Mr. Tensing, were captured on video firing fatal shots at black men, and it underscores a challenge for supporters of criminal convictions against the police: Even as such video becomes more common, and as some prosecutors appear willing to mount cases against police officers for use of force, persuading a jury to convict them may be the highest hurdle of all.
