After hours of anticipation, the family of Andrew Brown, Jr. was shown just twenty seconds of footage from only one police body camera, leaving them infuriated with more questions than answers about his death. It s ridiculous and it s outrageous and so disrespectful to the family, said Rosa Brown, a relative of Andrew Brown. To have waited so long, not only mourning the death of how it happened but to wait this long to get disappointed like that is ridiculous, she told CBN News Monday.
The family had planned to see the video at 11:30 a.m. ET. But an hour before the meeting they were informed of an unexpected delay. Harry Daniels, one of the lawyers for the Brown family, said he received an email at 10:29 a.m. on Monday from Pasquotank County Attorney Michael Cox that redactions were being made to the video.
