NEW: Kenosha police officer who shot Jacob Blake last year in Wisconsin will not face federal criminal civil rights charges, federal prosecutors announce.
Brian Passino / The Kenosha News via APThe Kenosha police officer who shot Jacob Blake last year in Wisconsin will not face federal civil rights charges, prosecutors announced Friday.
Officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white, shot Blake during a domestic disturbance in Kenosha in August 2020. The shooting left Blake, who is Black, paralyzed from the waist down and sparked several nights of protests."After a careful and thorough review, a team of experienced federal prosecutors determined that insufficient evidence exists to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer willfully violated the federal criminal civil rights statutes," the U.S.
State prosecutors decided not to file charges against Sheskey in January after video showed that Blake had been armed with a knife. Sheskey returned to work in March following administrative leave but did not face discipline, according to the police department. He was"found to have been acting within policy and will not be subjected to discipline," according to a statement from Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis.
