Ramarley Graham’s Family, Sharpton Demand Indictment In Police Shooting Case
The Reverend Al Sharpton led a Saturday meeting in Harlem to protest a judge’s decision to throw out an indictment in the case of the police shooting of Ramarley Graham, an unarmed teenager in the Bronx.
A judge ruled Wednesday that prosecutors made a mistake in telling the grand jury that Officer Richard Haste should not have relied on information from other officers who believed the 18-year-old was armed.
Graham’s parents and their supporters gathered at the National Action Networks and said they want to see Haste brought to trial. The Bronx district attorney is able to convene a new grand jury to hear the case against Haste, but by Saturday it was unclear whether that will happen.
