Jury picked in cop’s rage-slay case

- Christina Carrega

A COMPLETE jury was chosen Friday for the first case under Gov. Cuomo’s 2015 executive order to have the state attorney general’s office prosecute police-involved deaths of unarmed civilians.

Five men and seven women will hear testimony from 18 witnesses, review evidence and view surveillan­ce videos of the July 4, 2016, fatal shooting of motorist Delrawn Small by off-duty NYPD Officer Wayne Isaacs in a Brooklyn road-rage incident.

Isaacs, 38, is accused of gunning down Small, 37, on Atlantic Ave. near Bradford St. in East New York in the presence of Small’s girlfriend and stepchildr­en.

The cop was driving home from his shift at the 79th Precinct when he allegedly cut off Small’s vehicle, leading to an altercatio­n.

Isaacs told detectives on the scene Small punched him in the face and he opened fire in self-defense.
