Tell Brooklyn DA: Indict Officer Marchesona for Taser death of Iman Morales
The Issue
Iman Morales, a mentally ill man, was killed by a New York Police Department officer on September 24th, 2008. Mr. Morales was tased while standing on the ledge of a store front awning 10 feet high without an inflatable bag to break his fall. The officers ignored his mother's cries for an inflatable bag, and made no attempts to catch Mr. Morales who fell to his death after being tased. It is against NYPD procedures to taser someone in an elevated position. Sergeant Marchesona, who fired the taser that killed Iman was promoted to Detective six weeks after the killing. The Justice Committee is working with Iman’s family to demand Sergeant Marchesona be charged with criminally negligent homicide for the death of Iman Morales. Join the calls for justice!
