“Body camera footage shows that the father of a six-year-old autistic boy was attempting to surrender before police opened fire, killing his son, a lawyer has said.

Mark Jeansonne said his client, Chris Few, had his hands up and was not threatening police when gunfire began.

Two city marshals in Louisiana have been charged with second-degree murder.

The lawyer had not seen the video, but it was described to a judge during a court proceeding on Monday.”

Stafford and Greenhouse were named in a civil lawsuit, claiming they used excessive force in a 2013 arrest, along with four other Marksville police officers. The case is still pending.

Thirty-two-year-old Stafford was also allegedly indicted on two separate rape charges in 2011, but both cases were dismissed."
