Garrett Rolfe, the ex-cop who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks, has a bond hearing today.
Rayshard BrooksRolfe has been holed up at the Gwinnett County Jail in Georgia since his arrest, but will be appearing virtually at the Fulton County courthouse Tuesday to ask the judge to be let him out on bond. The hearing's scheduled for 11 AM PT.
Next, Rolfe claims there is"significant evidence that proves he was legally justified in using deadly force in this case." In the docs, Rolfe argues that Brooks committed multiple felonies"in resisting lawful arrest" -- including firing the TASER at him -- and Brooks' actions justified Rolfe's use of deadly force"if he reasonably believed that Mr. Brooks possessed a deadly weapon.""has declared that a TASER is a deadly weapon under Georgia law.
