Judge blocks immediate public release of bodycam video in Andrew Brown Jr. shooting, allows family access
CBSN
A judge has ruled to allow full body camera footage to be disclosed to the family of Andrew Brown Jr., a Black man who was fatally shot by North Carolina sheriff's deputies last week as they attempted to serve drug-related search and arrest warrants at his home. However, the judge denied a petition by a media coalition to immediately release the video publicly.
Judge Jeffery Foster ordered the Pasquotank County Sheriff's deputy to disclose the full video to Brown's family and an attorney within 10 days, but said any further public release of the video will be delayed for 30-45 days. The judge said he will further evaluate the public release of the videos after an investigation is complete. All facial and identifying features of the officers would be redacted in the video, the judge ruled.More Related News
