Malcolm James, died in police custody in Racine County, Wisconsin. His mother is now calling for a state and federal investigation into his death.
CHICAGO -- The mother of a man who died in police custody in southern Wisconsin appeared alongside Rainbow Push Coalition leaders Friday to urge state and federal officials to investigate the death.
Grant said video of the incident shows the"inept and inadequate and egregious lack of care, lack of compassion and lack of professionalism that led to the death of Malcolm James." A report released by the office cited contrary expert opinion as to the cause of James' death. And it noted that the confrontation with correctional staff that preceded his death took place during an attempt to protect James from himself because he'd been hitting his head against a wall.
Sherry James cried as video of the moments that led up to her son's death were played on television screens Friday.
