Do you mean that the charge of murder was withdrawn for the lesser charge of manslaughter?
I think the jury were offer the option of a conviction of manslaughter if they didn't think the case for murder had been proved.
It's shit, but it's nearly impossible to get a convict of a police officer in this country for a death in custody.

I just did a little bit of reading. Apparently it’s been 40 years since a conviction.
