The family of a Georgia teenager who was fatally shot by police in July 2020 has filed a lawsuit against Cobb County for $150 million over the teen's death.
A grand jury declined to charge the officer involved in the deadly shooting in February after viewing evidence regarding the case, according to the district attorney's office.
"I pray for that family every day that the Truitt family has endured during this time," he said."I also recognize the stress that any officer goes through when they have to use any use of force or put in any situation to use force. And I pray for that officer and his family every day too.
Griggs said he thinks, by pushing forward with the civil action, his team can uncover a"pattern and practice of abuse" that is occurring in Cobb County and hopes criminal action will be taken up on a federal level.
