💨 Abstract

The wrongful death trial of Lindani Myeni, a former KwaZulu-Natal rugby player, began three years after he was killed by police in Honolulu. Myeni, 29, was unarmed and shot four times during a confrontation with officers responding to a burglary call. His widow, Lindsay, alleges the police's actions were racially motivated. Prosecutors declined to charge the officers, but the case highlights ongoing debates about racial profiling and police accountability.
