Mike Brown
Nothing can bring Ferguson teenager Michael Brown back,
but this new lawsuit filed by his family is one step toward justice for his family and friends. See the entire lawsuit, in full, below the fold.
Michael Brown's parents filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson on Thursday, opening a new chapter in the legal battle over the fatal shooting by a white police officer that sparked a national protest movement.
Attorneys for Brown's parents promised the case would bring to light new forensic evidence that would raise doubts about the police version of events. Some of that evidence, they said, had been overlooked in previous investigations.
"The narrative of the law enforcement all across the country for shooting unarmed people of color is the same: That they had no other choice," attorney Benjamin Crump said. "But time and time again, the objective evidence contradicts the standard police narrative."
A more detailed analysis of the lawsuit is forthcoming.
