Mistrial declared in Arizona police excessive force case

PHOENIX (AP) — A federal judge in Arizona has declared a mistrial after a jury could not decide if a deputy used excessive force when he fatally shot a man. The Arizona Republic reported the jury ruled in favor of Pinal County Deputy Heath Rankin in a wrongful death claim, meaning jurors believed the January 2014 shooting was justified under state law. The case will go to trial again for another jury to determine whether Rankin violated federal law when he shot 40-year-old Manuel Longoria
