In 2013, Jonathan Ferrell crashed his car near Charlotte, North Carolina. And when police showed up, instead of giving him aid, they shot him.
"Monday marked the first day of the trial of Randall Kerrick, who was charged with voluntary manslaughter, and the details that emerged are as awful as many of us have imagined.
Even though Ferrell was shot in September of 2013, Charlotte officials have kept a very tight wrap on dashcam footage and other details, claiming it was to help them have an impartial jury."
Jonathan Ferrell was shot at 12 times, 10 bullets struck him and 8 of those bullets struck him while he was crawling. According to testimony, police would not let the EMT administer first aid.
Officer Randall Kerrick is claiming self defense. He was only charged with manslaughter.
