Attorney that represented families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, plans to take on a fatal officer-involved shooting in the Poconos
Civil rights attorneys are planning to file a federal lawsuit against the Pennsylvania State Police troopers who fatally shot 19-year-old Christian Hall in December 2020.
Hall “was having a mental health crisis,” attorney Ben Crump said at a Wednesday press conference. Crump is known for high-profile civil rights cases, including representing the families of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
“There is a suggestion that he was contemplating suicide. He was crying out for help. Christian Hall needed a helping hand, but yet he got bullets while he had his hands up,” Crump said.
