Andrew Brown's family asks the Justice Department to intervene after DA says use of deadly force was justified
CNN
The attorneys for the family of Andrew Brown Jr. are asking the Department of Justice to intervene after a North Carolina district attorney said that deputies would not be charged in connection to his fatal shooting.
"We certainly got neither transparency nor justice today," the attorneys said in a statement Tuesday. "We request that the Federal Department of Justice intervene immediately." Pasquotank District Attorney Andrew Womble announced Tuesday that deputies who fatally shot Brown last month were justified in using deadly force, a finding that the attorneys described as "an insult and a slap in the face."More Related News
