Slager Trial Update

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – Michael Slager’s former police supervisor has testified that Slager was “a very good officer” and could recall getting only one complaint about him.

The defense in Slager’s South Carolina murder trial called North Charleston police Sgt. Ronald Webb to the stand on Tuesday.

Slager, who is white, is charged in the April 2015 shooting death of Walter Scott, an unarmed black motorist who fled a traffic stop. Slager was fired after cellphone video of the shooting was released and he was charged.
