PITTSBURGH — A judge has ruled that a former Pittsburgh restaurant owner whose trial ended in a hung jury on some charges and acquittal on others can be freed on electronic monitoring pending retrial.

Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Manning granted bond Monday for 47-year-old Adnan Pehlivan over the objections of prosecutors who called him a danger and a flight risk.

Prosecutors alleged that Pehlivan stalked a woman and her friends from a bar to their home last May, then broke in and sexually assaulted her.

The defense contended that the alleged victim simply regretted a “hookup.” Jurors acquitted Pehlivan of simple assault and stalking but deadlocked on sex assault and burglary charges.

PITTSBURGH — Jury selection begins this week in the trial of an East Pittsburgh police officer charged with homicide in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.

Officer Michael Rosfeld is charged with shooting Antwon Rose Jr. as the teen fled a traffic stop last June. Rosfeld is white.

In January, a judge ordered that the jury be selected from outside Allegheny County due to extensive pretrial publicity.

Jurors will be selected in Harrisburg beginning Tuesday. Testimony will begin next week.

The jury will be sequestered in a hotel for the duration of the trial, which is expected to last two weeks.
