A New York City police officer was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges in the off-duty killing of an unarmed man who the officer said attacked him last year during a late-night traffic dispute in Brooklyn.
The officer, Wayne Isaacs, testified that he opened fire after the man, Delrawn Small, threatened to kill him and punched him at a stoplight in the Cypress Hills section of Brooklyn.
The surveillance video showed the victim approaching the officer's car but raised questions about the officer’s account of the confrontation.
The jury of five men and seven women deliberated over three days before deciding the government had not proved its case against Officer Isaacs.
