ATLANTA — Video showing a traffic stop that led to the death of a 62-year-old Black deacon could be publicly released as early as Thursday, a lawyer for the Atlanta man’s relatives said Monday after a meeting with prosecutors.Mawuli Davis, a lawyer for the Hollman family, said Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told him and relatives that the video would be publicly released as soon as Willis concludes that all witnesses have been interviewed.
Hollman became unresponsive while being arrested after a minor car crash. Relatives say Hollman, a church deacon, was driving home from Bible study at his daughter’s house and bringing home fried chicken and an apple pie to his wife for dinner when he collided with another vehicle. Police didn’t arrive until Hollman and the second driver had waited more than an hour.
“Our position is that it was an unwarranted, unjustifiable assault that lead to a death,” Davis said. “And in my book that is murder.” “We’re going to continue to fight for justice all the way to the very end, so we can do justice for our father,” Arnitra Hollman said Monday.
