One juror is standing between former North Charleston police Officer Michael Slager becoming one of the few police officers in the last decade to be convicted of murder.

Deliberations began on Thursday in the case, and 11 of the 12 members of the jury ― which consists of six white men, five white women and one black man, despite Charleston county being 28 percent black ― have come to the conclusion that Slager should be found guilty on murder charges stemming from the fatal shooting of Walter Scott in April.

If the final juror cannot reach an agreement with his counterparts, the case will be declared a mistrial — and he doesn’t seem like he’s going to change his mind.

“I cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict,” the juror, who is a white man, wrote in a note provided to the judge by the jury foreman. “I cannot and will not change my mind.”

While the judge has ordered the jury to continue deliberating until a decision is reached, the other jurors wrote in two separate letters that the lone juror who is supporting a verdict of not guilty “needs to leave” and is “having issues.”

Deliberations are scheduled to resume Monday.

Jury had said they couldn't reach consensus, 11-1 — Ari Melber (@AriMelber) December 2, 2016

Some people’s refusal to consider Slager’s guilt has baffled many pundits and writers who have been following the case throughout the year.

Since, you can shoot a fleeing black person in the back and, if you are a cop, you'll get the benefit of the doubt. https://t.co/icoqdb3reF — Jamelle Bouie (@jbouie) December 2, 2016

Michael Slager shot Walter Scott in the back. While running away. He was UNARMED. A non-conviction is unthinkable. — Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) December 2, 2016

Slager, who pulled Scott over for a broken taillight on April 4, 2015, claims to have been in “total fear” before he pulled the trigger eight times.

But a video taken by bystander Feindin Santana shows that Scott, who was unarmed, was shot in the back from 17 feet away as he ran away from Slager. The video also shows Slager dropping what seems to be a taser next to Scott’s unmoving body — a weapon he says Scott took from him during a scuffle — before handcuffing the victim rather than administering first aid.

Warning: This video contains graphic imagery.

Scott, who formerly served in the Coast Guard, was the father of four children.

“He was outgoing ― loved everybody, [was] very known in the community and got along with everybody,” his brother Anthony Scott told CNN in April. “All the family loves him, and his kids loved him.”
