Judge delays selecting a special prosecutor for the 2016 shooting of Jay Anderson Jr. to October

Noted: Keith Findley, a professor of law at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said that person will then review all the evidence in the case. They could ask the police for more reports or issue subpoenas, as well.

They’ll then evaluate the evidence and determine whether they want to prosecute Mensah.

Yamahiro found probable cause that Mensah committed homicide by the negligent handling of a dangerous weapon. The special prosecutor will not be required to file that specific charge, but they could, Findley said. They could also file additional charges, different charges or no charges at all.
