No 3rd trial for White Detroit cop, Joseph Weekley, in death of 7 year old colored girl, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, in raid filmed by TV show

Authorities won't pursue a third trial against a Detroit police officer who fatally shot a 7-year-old girl during a nighttime raid that was filmed by a reality TV show, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Aiyana Stanley-Jones' mother was notified that Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy will move Friday to dismiss the only remaining charge against Joseph Weekley, a misdemeanor count of reckless use of a firearm.

Detroit police officer Joseph Weekley in 2013. Weekley's first trial in the shooting of a girl during a house raid ended without a verdict in June 2013. His second ended in October with a hung jury.

The girl was shot in the head while she slept on a living room couch in May 2010. Police were accompanied by a camera crew from "The First 48," which recorded it from the outside but not inside where Aiyana was killed. The shooting was not considered intentional.
