Latest on Marksville shooting: Boy’s funeral underway; injured father still doesn’t know of son’s death
ADVOCATE STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Updated at 1:30 p.m.:
MARKSVILLE — Police body camera video shows the father of a 6-year-old autistic boy had his hands up and posed no threat as marshals opened fire on their vehicle, severely wounding the motorist and killing his son, the man’s lawyer said Monday.
“This was not a threatening situation for the police,†said Mark Jeansonne, the attorney for Chris Few, who remained hospitalized Monday and could not attend the funeral of his son, Jeremy Mardis, on Monday.
The funeral was held at 1:30 p.m. in Hattiesburg, where several members of his mother’s side of the family live, according to his obituary. Family sought privacy and barred the media from attending the small service and several attendees declined to speak with The Advocate.
here we go again , Obama is going to demand he stay President until this racial injustice is fixed
The ABC report I heard this morning did not enhance their descriptions of the police and victims by naming their ethnicities, strangely.
Here I thought that was standard practice where police shootings are concerned.
Maybe not, but he just knows in his heart that the most lucrative scenario for him definitely happened.
“Also Monday, District Attorney Charles A. Riddle recused himself from the case, because one of his top assistant prosecutors is the father of Greenhouse.”
This is about the only good thing in this dismal story. Perhaps the most inept and abusive prosecutorial agencies in the state will not be involved. Directly, anyway.
This parish is the cradle of Edwin Edwards and economically dominated by a tribal casino. Some say the tribe was registered as extinct a century ago, but experienced a resurrection at the same time tribal casinos were an exception to the gaming ban. So I am told.
I still wanna know....
Why was Few running from the law?
That never ends well. In this case, an innocent boy was killed.
Affirmative action cops. Indistinguishable from thugs. Kill innocent kid.
This is racially-motivated murder. The cops need to be put in jail.
Does anyone think there will be a #whitelivesmatter movement, with the head invited to the white house?
I hope Few wasn’t saying; ‘Don’t Shoot’, while his hands were up. That would be a trademark violation.
White kid shot by black cops.
So, I suppose we will see a rabid herd of white people destroying and looting a city. No?
It’s too bad this cop isn’t charged with capital murder. It should swing.
The lawyer said he still hasn’t seen the video,
...
Interesting. We’ll just have to take a lawyer’s word for it.
Looks like we won’t get any solid evidence until the trial.
