Aiyana Stanley-Jones was just seven years old when Officer Joseph Weekley burst into her family home during a botched raid and fatally shot her. The police had been looking for a murder suspect. Weekley claimed that his gun had accidentally gone off after he got into a struggle with the girl’s grandmother. Aiyana’s grandmother stated that she did not fight with the officer, and another policeman backed up the grandmother’s story. The raid was being filmed for a television show called The First 48. Aiyana’s family believes that the police were more concerned with how they appeared on the show than with doing police work. Weekley was charged with involuntary manslaughter over Aiyana’s death. However, even though another officer testified against Weekley, the jurors failed to find him guilty. This led to a mistrial.
