New details have emerged in the death of Clifton Lee Jr at the hands of Washtenaw County Sheriff Deputies

The Ann Arbor News has new information on the case against three Washtenaw County sheriffs who, depending upon your point of view, either used excessive force resulting in the needless death of Clifton Lee Jr., OR were simply carrying out their sworn duties. Sgt. Shawn Hoy and Deputy Eric Kelly and Joseph Eberle MAY have their trials delayed but all charges stem from this case. Sheriff's Deputy Aaron Hendricks who also was on the scene is not being charged and is expected to be a prosecution witness

Dash video, witness testimony, and charges and counter charges in a rather in-depth and lengthy A2 News story found HERE.

A sordid case that the county has already settled a civil case over, for 4 million dollars.

Your thoughts?
