Raymond Tensing, a Former University of Cincinnati Police Officer, Faces Federal Civil Rights Review
CINCINNATI, Ohio – In a shocking turn of events, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has announced that it will review evidence from the state court trials of Raymond Tensing, a former University of Cincinnati police officer accused of murder and manslaughter.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the decision to review evidence comes after the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s decision not to pursue a second retrial of Tensing.
Tensing, 58, was initially convicted of murder and manslaughter in the 2015 shooting death of Samuel DuBose. However, his conviction was later overturned, and he was granted a retrial.
After a second trial, Tensing was acquitted of both charges. However, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has now announced that it will review evidence from both trials to assess whether there are possible federal civil rights offenses warranting investigation and potential prosecution.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Tensing will face federal charges.
