Judge allows release of body camera footage in case of Chicago woman shot by CBP
Source: Good Morning America
A federal judge on Friday granted a motion to permit the public release of body camera footage and other evidence in the case of a Chicago woman who was shot five times by a Customs and Border Protection agent last fall.
U.S. District Judge Georgia Alexakis granted the motion from Marimar Martinez to publicly disclose body camera footage, photographs, FBI reports and other evidence in the case.
An attorney for Martinez, who was shot and wounded by a Customs and Border Protection agent during Operation Midway Blitz, had asked the court to allow the release of more evidence from the shooting -- including body camera footage, electronic communications and photographs -- in order to "combat the continuing harm to her reputation."
Among the evidence the judge ordered released is the body camera footage of Charles Exum, the CBP agent who fired the shots, plus two other agents; FBI reports on Exum and the other agents; audio of Martinez's 911 call; FBI reports regarding custody and medical treatment; and about 40 text messages Exum sent to friends, family and coworkers following the shooting.
