Days after a federal judge in Alabama, USA declared a mistrial in the case of a police officer accused of assaulting an Indian grandfather, both the prosecution and the defence are gearing up for the retrial of the police officer Eric Sloan Parker – and both expect to win.
Back in February, Parker seriously injured Sureshbhai Patel, 58, as he went on a morning stroll in the neighbourhood where his son Chirag Patel, a defence contractor lived.
The senior Patel had come to visit his family to help out with his grandson who is developmentally delayed.
