Former University of Cincinnati police officer Raymond Tensing, who was indicted yesterday on murder charges for shooting Samuel Dubose during a traffic stop, pleaded not guilty in his court appearance this morning. Officer Tensing "purposely killed" 43-year-old DuBose, who was black, after "losing his temper," according to county prosecutor Joe Deters. DuBose, who was a father of 10, had been driving without a front license plate when he was pulled over. Tensing could face life in prison if he is found guilty.
