FBI looking into whether or not it will investigate Melvin case
| The FBI is looking into whether or not it will investigate the outcome of the trial of Richmond Police officer David Melvin. The judge ordered a mistrial the day a verdict was to be handed down. Melvin is facing involuntary manslaughter charges for the shooting death of a robbery suspect. Defense attorneys felt a juror was tainted after having a conversation with a Richmond police officer during the trial. Melvin's case ended in a mistrial because the defense felt a juror's contact with police tainted deliberations. The NAACP thinks Richmond Police knew what they were doing when they made contact with the for-person of the jury. They find it hard to believe such a coincidence could occur the day before a verdict was to be handed down. |
