“He and his family deserved better,” the Innocence Project of Florida said in a statement. “Lenny’s life mattered.”

Cure’s quest to rebuild his life after being wrongfully convicted in 2003 ended tragically on the shoulder of Interstate 95 in South Georgia on Monday morning.

On Wednesday, the Camden County, Georgia, sheriff’s office released body-worn and dash camera videos of the moments leading up to the shooting.

In the dash cam video, the deputy begins pursuing Cure with his sirens on after Cure’s vehicle passes his. The pursuit lasts about one minute and 20 seconds.

    The guy clearly had the upper hand on the cop and was dominating the cop. If you believe the cop had no threat to perceive based on that video, idk what to say. I’ve seen plenty of other races getting shot for acting the same way. I’ve also seen black people get arrested after fighting. In the heat of the moment it’s hard to make rational decisions especially since your taser isn’t working on the person fighting you. I hope you’re never in that scenario.
