North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said the shooting of Andrew Martinez was justified, meaning officers won't face criminal charges. The Martinez family asked law enforcement to reevaluate how they respond to a mental health crisis.
Cass County State's Attorney Birch Burdick said he didn't see a direct conflict in the shooting of Andrew Martinez, but he sent prosecutorial decisions to North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley to avoid the appearance of conflict.
Legal action is the farthest thing from the Martinez family’s mind, their attorney said, noting they are focused on grief and cooperating with investigators.
