Body Cam Battle Over Fatal Shooting | Boston News

A civil rights group is suing Boston police and the district attorney to force release of body cam footage from the fatal March 11 shooting of 39-year-old Stephenson King during a traffic stop. The case, now a political flashpoint, centers on Officer Nicholas OMalley—who faces manslaughter charges for firing at a moving car, the first such charge in 30 years. Prosecutors claim he acted without justification; his defense says he feared for another officer’s life. The video, still sealed by prosecutors citing trial fairness, is critical to public accountability. King’s family, represented by Benjamin Crump, says he was in mental health crisis. Trial looms next spring as the legal and political battle intensifies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
