© Raw StoryBrutalized and shot to death: 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell
Prosecutors will
submit involuntary manslaughter charges against a North Carolina police officer who shot a former college football player after he crashed his car.
A Mecklenburg County grand jury declined to indict Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Randall Kerrick on Tuesday on voluntary manslaughter charges in the
Sept. 14 shooting death of 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell.
Kerrick fired his service weapon 12 times and struck Ferrell 10 times, investigators said, killing him.
WBTV-TV reported that grand jurors asked prosecutors for a lesser charge than voluntary manslaughter, and the state attorney general's office said it would submit the new charge to a full grand jury.
"In the interest of justice, we will resubmit this case to the grand jury scheduled to meet Monday, Jan. 27, to seek an indictment for voluntary manslaughter, the most appropriate charge given the facts in the case," said Attorney General Roy Cooper.
Ferrell's family said in a statement they were pleased the case would be resubmitted, but with reservations.
"While we are pleased that the Attorney General is going to resubmit the charges against Randall Kerrick to a new Grand Jury on Monday, we are skeptical given their inability to secure an indictment yesterday," the statement said. "Jonathan Ferrell was a quality human being who worked hard and cared for those around him. He deserved better."
