Officer James Laboard found not guilty in death of Christopher Brown
June 20, 2013
excerpt. . .
Laboard was indicted last year on manslaughter charges in the death of 17-year-old Christopher Brown following a chase and ensuing struggle after youths threw rocks at his Randallstown home while he was off-duty.
Laboard was in his home on June 13, 2012, when he heard a loud noise, went outside to investigate and found his front door damaged. He spotted a handful of people running away from the scene.
Laboard chased the group for several blocks before catching up and struggling with Brown.
Police said Laboard called for help when the teen lost consciousness.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
I’m noticing in the article that the comments on racism are by a man named Dayvon Love, not by the young man’s mother who seems more focused on the death of her son and acting on that to get a result. She “believes if the officer knew CPR and had administered it in time, her son could have been saved.”
