Release Of Slain Officer's Body Camera Video Blocked By Judge
A judge is blocking the release of video from slain officer Lt. Aaron Allen's body camera from his July shooting death.
The Associated Press reports a judge is blocking the public release of video from the body camera police officer Aaron Allan was wearing when authorities say he was fatally shot while trying to help a driver following a July car crash. AP reports Marion County prosecutors had asked for the video to be kept private as they argued releasing it would hurt the chances for 28-year-old Jason D. Brown to receive a fair trial. The news outlet reports Brown shot and killed Southport Police Lt. Allan July 27 following a crash in Indianapolis.
Brown is charged with murder for the shooting.
AP reports via IndyStar that the judge's order only allows Brown's lawyer to have a copy of the body camera video.
