Trial of 4 officers charged in man’s death goes ahead

The trial of four officers charged in connection with the death of a man who died in police custody in northern Louisiana will go forward, a judge ruled Thursday, rejecting efforts by the four Shreveport officers to have the charges thrown out. KSLA-TV reported that the four officers — Brian Ross, James McClare, Treona McCarter and D’Marea Johnson — had been scheduled to face trial in December in connection with the April 2020 death of Tommie McGlothen Jr. But then the four waived their right to a jury trial and asked the judge to decide the case. The suit also says McGlothen spent 48 minutes in a police patrol unit, unattended and handcuffed, with dash-camera video showing he was in respiratory distress before officers summoned medical help.
