BREAKING DA Gascon announces felony charges against 7 CHP officers, registered nurse in 2020 death of man who was pulled over for DUI, died after struggling with officers over blood draw
A registered nurse was charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter.Edward Bronstein, a 38-year-old Burbank man, was pulled over on March 31, 2020 on the 5 Freeway on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was brought to the CHP station in Altadena, where he reportedly resisted submitting to a blood test.
Officers allegedly used force to get him to comply. During the extended struggle he repeatedly said "I can't breathe" and no officers helped him, according to an attorney for Bronstein's family. The family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the CHP. "The officers had a legal duty to Mr. Bronstein," Gascón said. "He was in their custody. We believe that they failed their duty and their failure was criminally negligent, causing his death."
During his press conference, Gascón showed video of the incident, warning that the footage "is extremely graphic" and suggested some people may wish to leave the room.
