Justice Department Shakes Up Investigation of Eric Garner Killing
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The trials come as a Justice Department investigation into the choking
death of unarmed African American Eric Garner by NYPD officer Daniel
Pantaleo is in disarray. The New York Times reported last week that New
York-based FBI agents and federal prosecutors are no longer assigned to
the investigation. The shakeup leaves prosecutors with the Justice
Department's Civil Rights Division in charge, making it far more likely
officers will face criminal charges.
