The jury in Connecticut State Trooper Brian North's trial has found him not guilty of manslaughter in the death of 19-year-old Mubarak Soulemane.
Defense attorney Riccio said Trooper North is still very shaken by what transpired, and"it will live with him for the rest of his life.""We are very happy with the verdict and the result," Riccio said."Though this is definitely not a time for celebration because a young man still lost his life."Soulemane's family members were very emotional after the verdict was read, and a couple of them walked outside of the courtroom in tears.
We recognize the stress this process has had on Trooper North and his family, and we commend Trooper North for his professionalism during this trial. On Friday morning, the judge said the jury asked the court to hear North's testimony again. They then returned to the courtroom to hear it. After a lunch break, the jury went back to deliberating.
On Jan. 15, 2020, Soulemane displayed a knife inside an AT&T store in Norwalk, stole his Lyft driver's vehicle and led police on a high-speed pursuit, according to authorities. Troopers were able to box in Soulemane in West Haven, and an officer shattered the window.
