Update Oct. 10: Judge declares Mistrial on Remaining Charge after Hung Jury
Jump to update discussion >>

==================================
"A Wayne County Circuit Court judge this morning dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge against a Detroit police officer charged in the death of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones.

The attorney for Joseph Weekley requested that Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway dismiss the felony charge.

Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Robert Moran immediately objected and asked for a stay before closing arguments in Weekley's trial, which was granted. The charge of careless discharge causing injury or death remains before the jury.

Hathaway adjourned the proceedings until Monday to give the Court of Appeals a chance to weigh in."
