A select number of theatres began screenings on Thursday night, the culmination of 17-hour-long Star Wars marathon events. Star Wars: The Force Awakens could snatch the record from Avatar , according to movie industry analysts.
The new trial is scheduled for June 13. In addition to Porter, there are five more officers to prosecute. Gray died April 19, a week after his neck was broken during a ride in the back of a police van. The jury had deliberated for 16 hours on whether the officer, William Porter, was guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Gray’s death from injuries suffered while in police custody. The sole objective of the hearing is to have the new trial date read in to the record.

The court’s deliberation concerns at which point Porter should have called for medical attention on Gray’s behalf.
Because of the mistrial, Porter’s case is still pending.
And Wood says there are ways the prosecution could compel porter to testify, without violating his constitutional rights. Porter’s first trial ended with a hung jury earlier this month.
“The interesting issue that is on everyone’s mind that is not public is: what if anything will the state do to compel his testimony?” said Jeremy Eldridge, a defense attorney and former prosecutor. For example, Porter said Goodson called him for help checking on Gray, but said they did not discuss Gray’s condition.
