BREAKING: A mistrial has been declared due to a hung jury in the case involving a former Philadelphia SWAT officer seen on video pepper-spraying protesters.
The jury deliberating over the case of 37-year-old Richard Nicoletti was at an impasse on Friday but was told to keep working toward a verdict.
Both the defense and prosecution agreed to proceed with 11 jurors instead of 12 after one was dismissed on Friday.Nicoletti was charged with simple assault and reckless endangerment after he was caught on video pepper-spraying protesters on I-676 on June 1, 2020.In 2021, the charges were dismissed in court. The judge stated that the prosecution failed to prove Nicoletti's actions were criminal. That ruling was overturned and Nicoletti was brought to court for a second time.
However, Nicoletti's defense argued that he was following orders and clearing the highway before things got out of control.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
