Attorneys for the family of Manuel Paez Terán found out from a local reporter about the results of a test to determine if there was gunpowder residue on the killed environmental activist’s hands.
Civil rights attorney Jeff Filipovits said he was “totally caught off guard” by the reporter’s call, especially since the DeKalb county medical examiner’s office – the agency that released the results to the media – had told him and his team two weeks earlier that those same results weren’t yet available and wouldn’t be for some time.
