Andrew Mitchell, 59, pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of depriving individuals of their civil rights while acting under color of law and one count of obstructing justice.

Former Columbus Police Vice Officer Andrew Mitchell has been found not guilty after being tried for a second time on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter related to the death of Donna Castleberry.

Use-of-force expert Kevin Davis testified Monday that former Columbus Vice Officer Andrew Mitchell was justified in the deadly shooting of Donna Castleberry in 2018.

Mitchell testified for over three hours on Friday and faced questions about the 2018 deadly shooting of Donna Castleberry from Franklin County prosecutors and his defense attorney.

The former Columbus police vice officer is charged with the 2018 killing of Donna Castleberry. Mitchell's first trial last year ended in a mistrial.

This is the second murder trial for Andrew Mitchell, who retired from the Columbus Division of Police in 2019.

Franklin County Prosecutor Gary Tyack’s office said they are “carefully reviewing all available options” in the case and will make a public announcement in “several days.”

A judge has declared a mistrial after the jury remained deadlocked in the murder trial of former Columbus police officer Andrew Mitchell in the death of Donna Castleberry.

The fate of an ex-Columbus police officer is now in the hands of a Franklin County jury.

Closing arguments in the trial of a former Columbus police officer who shot and killed 23-year old Donna Castleberry in his vehicle were rescheduled from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday morning in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
