During a news conference Tuesday, 24-year-old Le'Keian Woods' attorneys alleged that responding officers used 'deadly' and 'unlawful' force during Woods' arrest.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Attorneys of the man seen beaten in a viral arrest video are calling for"full transparency" from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Tuesday after the agency released body camera video of the incident.
Another one of Woods' attorneys, Roderick Taylor, added he is not able to take liquid or food because he is"dizzy" and"nauseous" from his injures. Woods' attorneys acknowledged the body camera video released by Sheriff T.K. Waters during a press conference Monday night. "Part of the [police] statement, you say that the gun that you found belonged to another individual, who admitted that that was his firearm, but you place a gun charge on Le'Keian. How does that make sense?"asked Woods' attorneys why he ran.
