COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Former police officer Michael Slager has a new date set for the retrial.

It is now scheduled for March 1. You may remember, Slager’s trial in December was declared a mistrial after the jury deadlocked.

Slager is the former North Charleston police officer accused of shooting Walter Scott in the back as he ran from a traffic stop.
