Ohio prosecutor criticized over reports on child's shooting by police
An
Ohio prosecutor handling the fatal shooting by police of a 12-year-old
boy while he played with a replica pistol was criticized by activists on
Sunday for releasing two reports that called the shooting "reasonable"
before any grand jury decision on charges had been announced. "It looks

well as manipulate the judicial process overall," said Edward Little,
one of the so-called Cleveland 8, a group of clergy, academics and
activists who have called for the two police officers involved in the
November 2014 playground shooting of Tamir Rice to be indicted. The
conclusions of a retired FBI agent and an out-of-state prosecutor were
submitted to the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office ahead of an
expected decision by a grand jury on whether criminal charges were
warranted in the shooting, which was captured on surveillance video.Read More ...
