On Tuesday, 7 July, Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced that the three officers involved in the fatal shooting of an autistic man, Alexander Lamorie, will not face criminal charges. The decision followed the conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to prove a criminal offence beyond a reasonable doubt under Maryland law.
Lamorie's mother, Dr Jill Harrington, said in a statement: 'I am disappointed with the report's findings, which do not acknowledge that three police officers did anything wrong when they shot my son 12 times and unnecessarily, inhumanely killed him during a mental health crisis.'
