Judge declares mistrial in Christopher Schurr trial after jury deadlock
The trial of former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict concerning the shooting death of Patrick Lyoya. Judge Christina Mims declared the mistrial, leaving Schurr without new charges, while Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker considers re-filing. Defense attorney Matthew Borgula noted the jury leaned towards acquittal, though Lyoya's father urged for continued pursuit of justice. The community awaits further developments as the family's civil case against the city progresses.
