New York judge orders judicial review of Eric Garner case
A New York Supreme Court judge on Thursday ordered a public judicial inquiry into the case of Eric Garner, the 43-year-old who died after being put in an apparent chokehold by a New York police officer in 2014.
The group Communities United for Police Reform called the ruling a"major win for transparency and basic civil rights." A Staten Island grand jury in late 2014 declined to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo on criminal charges related to Garner's death. Pantaleo has denied any wrongdoing but was fired last year.
Story continuesLynch said last year that Pantaleo and Damico"utilized textbook de-escalation techniques to limit the use of force against a much larger and irate individual." Neither officer could be reached for comment Friday evening.
