Officer Charged in Shooting
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A white Alabama police officer was charged with murder Wednesday in the shooting death of a black man who, a family lawyer says, was walking home when he was slain outside a neighbor's house.
Montgomery police Officer Aaron Smith, 23, was arrested with bond set at $150,000, Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey said Wednesday.
"I will do everything in my power to protect a police officer who is operating within the law," Bailey said. "I will also use every ounce of my power to prosecute a police officer who is acting outside of the law."
Bailey wouldn't say what evidence led to the charge.
