"Ben Crump demands justice for exonerated man killed by cop with history of excessive force"

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has condemned a sheriff's deputy in Camden County, Georgia, after the release of police video showing a traffic stop that resulted in the killing of Leonard Cure, a wrongfully convicted exoneree. The video shows the deputy yelling at Cure, who was Black, immediately after exiting his patrol vehicle. Cure, who had been wrongfully sentenced to over 16 years in prison before being exonerated, did not comply with the deputy's commands and was stun-gunned. A physical altercation ensued, and the deputy ultimately shot and killed Cure. The incident has raised concerns about police deescalation tactics and the treatment of individuals with mental health issues during encounters with law enforcement.
