You're either being deliberately disingenuous or you have serous reading comprehension deficits.
The first trial ended in mistrial when the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict.
Every rial since, including the one you so helpfully linked to, the officers involved elected to have a bench trial. The judge hearts the evidence and renders a verdict.
As soon as the first bench trial ended in acquittal, the other officers lined up to have belch trials instead. They knew the score.
No jury was given the chance to convict after the first officer escaped conviction only because the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict.
