“While the images contained in the video may have been unsettling to watch, the recording does not capture the series of events leading up to Pinnock’s detention and represents just one piece of evidence collected and reviewed in the LADA’s extensive and independent investigation,” The DA’s office stated in a news release.
Investigators also relied on medical records, eyewitness accounts, recordings of 911 calls and patrol car dash cameras in their review of the incident, according to the DA’s office.
“Based upon the facts presented, there was a lawful necessity for Andrew to use force to prevent Pinnock from entering the lanes of traffic and there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the force he used was unreasonable or excessive,” The DA’s office stated in a news release, which cited a 30-page Charge Evaluation Worksheet.- KTLA
