Investigations and Settlements: Unveiling the Tragic Deaths in Atlanta Police Custody

The medical examiner's report on the death of Atlanta deacon Johnny Hollman, who died after being Tased and handcuffed by Atlanta police during a minor traffic accident, reveals that the Taser played a role in his death, but there were also other contributing factors such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes. The report lists the manner of death as a homicide, meaning it resulted from the actions of another person, but it does not necessarily imply a crime. The family's attorney believes that the officer's physical attack, combined with Hollman's pre-existing ailments, caused his death, and they are calling for the release of the bodycam video. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation's independent investigation into the incident is ongoing.
