Lawyers representing Officer Randall Kerrick appeared in court Tuesday to answer the charges. A probable cause hearing was set for Oct. 7, reports the Associated Press.
Authorities have said Kerrick shot Jonathan Ferrell 10 times when he approached the officers seeking help after a car wreck. Officers attempted to use a TASER to stop Ferrell that was ineffectual.
On Monday, Ferrell's family members and NAACP representatives questioned whether race was a factor in the shooting of a black man by a white officer.
