White cop cleared in fatal shooting of black teen
The jury deliberated for less than four hours.

Mary posted her video on social media, sparking angry protests in the streets of East Pittsburgh and elsewhere.
The video shows Antwon and another man running from the car. Antwon, dressed in a white T-shirt, got about 10 feet before three gunshots sounded and he fell to the ground.
\"It was like he was taking target practice out on this young man's back,\" Mary told ABC News. \"He didn't flinch, he didn't say stop running, he didn't say anything.\"

Rose's grieving parents, Michelle Kenney and Antwon Rose Sr, told ABC News last June that Rosfeld deserved to be punished.
\"He murdered my son in cold blood,\" Kenney said. \"If he has a son, I pray his heart never has to hurt the way mine does,\" Kenney said of the police officer. \"But I think he should pay for taking my son's life. I really do.\"
As she spoke through jags of tears, Kenney clutched a Bible in her lap with the words \"My son\" written on a piece of paper and taped to the cover. On the front of her striped dress, she wore a purple ribbon, which she says was her son's favorite color.
She spoke of how her son -- whom she nicknamed \"My Baby\" -- had traveled around the world, taught himself to ski and play hockey. He had dreams, she said, of going to college and becoming a chemical engineer or a lawyer.
\"I knew Antwon was destined for greatness. I told him that all the time,\" she said. \"I figured he either was going to be an engineer who designed something that changed the world, or he was going to have a case that changed the world. I never knew that he would be the victim of a homicide and change the world. It's just unimaginable.\"
The teen's father said he saw Mary's video before it went viral -- and he initially didn't realize it was his son because people were saying the boy who was shot was 13-years-old.
\"I never thought that was my son,\" he said.
