A hung jury forced the judge to declare a mis-trial in the case of a California police officer who permanently blinded a woman with pepper spray while arresting her for a traffic violation. The former cop was charged with excessive force.
When Monica Hernandez got behind the wheel of her car outside her home in Beaumont California she had no idea that within a few minutes she would be totally blind, robbed of her sight by pepper spray, sprayed from a distance of just one foot from her face by California cop Enoch Clark.
