Back To The Beginning: #JusticeForDJ Update
from Status: Pending Hosted by Scott Fuller
This episode of Status: Pending revisits our very first case: the shooting death of D.J. Fickey on October 3, 2016. Initially determined to be a suicide, in August 2020 officials changed D.J.'s manner of death to 'undetermined'. D.J.'s sister, Amanda Shirley, joins us to update us on her efforts to bring attention to his case. An online petition requesting charges be brought in the case has gathered more than 60,000 signatures (https://www.change.org/p/help-us-in-getting-justice-for-dj-and-his-3-babies-nov-14-1988-oct-3-2016-justicefordj) On Sunday, October 3rd, Amanda encourages you to raise awareness for D.J.'s case by changing your social media profile images to something orange, and post with #JusticeForDJ, along with a link to this episode (or other coverage of D.J.'s case). D.J.'s case represented the first episodes we released about D.J.'s case, and we're re-releasing them together here to commemorate 5 years since his death.
