As the tragic murder of Rayshard Brooks is still fresh on the minds of protestors in Atlanta and nationwide, a charge has been levied upon one of the officers in the case.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard also announced at a Wednesday (June 17) news conferences the charges for Officer Devin Brosnan, who faces three charges of aggravated assault, violation of oath, and failing to render timely medical aid.
Rolfe faces a potential life sentence for the felony murder charge, while Brosnan can face a range of one to 20 years in prison.
Rolfe’s attorney added, “Officer Rolfe is well known to the courts and there is no compelling reason to bring any charges against them before the GBI has completed its investigation and published its findings.”
Curiously, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) wrote on its Facebook page that they were unaware that Howard was set to bring charges against Rolfe and Brosnan.
