A white former Atlanta police officer was indicted for murder and other charges by a grand jury on Wednesday in the shooting death of an unarmed black man in June, the former officer's attorney said. Criminal charges of aggravated assault, making a false statement and two counts of violating his oath of office were also brought against James Burns, attorney Drew Findling said by telephone. Burns has said he shot Deravis Caine Rogers in self-defense but prosecutors have contended Burns' life was not in danger when he fired into the vehicle Rogers was driving.
