The former Tulsa police officer who fatally shot 40-year-old Terence Crutcher last year and was acquitted of manslaughter this spring will no longer have the charge on her record.

On Wednesday, District Judge William LaFortune granted Betty Shelbys request to expunge the record of her manslaughter case , according to Tulsa World.

The court order means that if anyone asks Shelby about her case, she can legally claim that no such record exists of her arrest or prosecution, according to Oklahoma statute.

In September, 2016, Shelby fatally shot Crutcher , a 40-year-old black man who was unarmed.

The Tulsa Police Department initially said Crutcher had refused orders to put up his hands , but footage of the incident appears to show him walking toward his vehicle with his hands above his head.

Shelby told 60 Minutes the video failed to show clearly that Crutcher had suddenly reached into the vehicle . She said she believed he was about to grab a weapon.

The 42-year-old officer was found not guilty of first-degree manslaughter in May after a jury deliberated for nine hours .
