Family of exonerated Black man killed by a Georgia deputy is suing him in federal court

The family of a Black man fatally shot by a Georgia deputy during an October traffic stop filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday seeking more than $16 million in damages, arguing the deputy used excessive force and the sheriff who employed him ignored the officer's history of violence. Leonard Cure, 53, was killed just three years after Florida authorities freed him from a 16-year imprisonment for a crime he did not commit. The civil suit was filed in U.S. District Court four months after Cure was killed in a violent struggle that began after Camden County sheriff's Staff Sgt. Buck Aldridge pulled him over for speeding on Interstate 95.
