Civil Rights attorneys Antonio Romanucci of Romanucci & Blandin and Ben Crump of Ben Crump Law release a statement in response to a grand jury’s vote not to indict any police officers on charges relating to Daniel Prude's death

February 23, 2021

"We are deeply disappointed that the officers will not face criminal charges for killing Daniel Prude during what was clearly a mental health crisis as he lay naked in the cold streets with a spit hood they placed over his head. This tragedy could have been avoided if officers had been properly trained but also used basic human decency and common sense to treat Mr. Prude with compassion and get him the medical attention he deserved. We will continue to advocate for justice in the civil courts, while also seeking federal police reform so that these continued tragedies against Black citizens end once and for all."
