Judge limits bodycam footage family can see of Andrew Brown Jr. shooting

The family of a Black man who was fatally shot in his car by sheriff's deputies in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, will only be shown a fraction of body camera footage recorded at the scene and could wait days longer to view it, under a judge's written ruling.

Attorneys for Andrew Brown Jr.'s family had expected to see the video as soon as this week after Judge Jeffery Foster ruled from the bench on April 27 that the family would be shown the videos "within 10 days." The judge also said he would specify in a written order which portions they could view. But it took the Superior Court judge until Thursday to issue the written ruling, which now says the 10-day time period starts from then.
