Mistrial declared in trial of Detroit cop accused of killing young girl Wednesday, May 29, 2013
DETROIT — Police accompanied by a reality TV crew fired a stun grenade through a window as they raided a Detroit home in search of a murder suspect. A gunshot then went off inside, fatally striking a 7-year-old girl in the head while she slept on a couch.
Now, three years later, Officer Joseph Weekley goes on trial in the death of Aiyana Stanley-Jones. Jury selection starts Wednesday.
Weekley, charged with involuntary manslaughter, is accused of acting with gross negligence when he didn't prevent his gun from firing during the chaos that followed the use of a "flash-bang" device.
This Shooting happened THREE YEARS AGO, today....

Special Investigations Group:
By Ed White Associated Press
DETROIT — A judge Tuesday declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict in the trial of a Detroit police officer who fatally shot a 7-year-old girl.
Wayne County Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway dismissed jurors about an hour after urging them to keep working Tuesday. The jury sent three notes, the last one indicating it still couldn't reach a unanimous verdict on the third day of deliberations.
Joseph Weekley, a member of an elite squad, was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Aiyana Stanley-Jones.
Prosecutors said Weekley neglected to control his submachine gun as his black-clad, masked and armed unit stormed the home in the hunt for a murder suspect in May 2010. They did not accuse him of intentionally shooting the girl.
Police threw a stun grenade through a window, and Weekley was the first officer through the door. Aiyana was shot in the head just a few seconds later as she slept on a couch.
Weekley said he pulled the trigger during a struggle with the girl's grandmother, but Mertilla Jones denied interfering with the gun.
Weekley's unit was being shadowed by a crew from the reality TV show, "The First 48," a police reality show on A&E Networks.
Earlier Tuesday, loud voices could be heard through the closed door of the jury room. Reporters and spectators awaiting a verdict were then ordered out of the courtroom.
The jury could have convicted Weekley of involuntary manslaughter, a lesser crime or cleared him of all charges.
The judge listed several factors for the jury to consider on the involuntary manslaughter charge. To convict, the jury must find he acted in a "grossly negligent manner" and willfully disregarded possible injuries to others by failing to control his submachine gun.

Mertilla Jones added, “We get more support from people around the world — not just different states, but around the world — than we’re getting from where she was born, raised and was murdered. Murdered — not manslaughter. She’s a little girl; she’s not a man. She was murdered
