DA: No charges against police in Celtics fan death
BOSTON (AP) — A prosecutor says he won’t file criminal charges against the police in the case of a man who died 11 days after he stopped breathing while in police custody.
The state medical examiner ruled in December that David Woodman’s death was brought on by heart arrhythmia and that he died of “natural causes.”
Twenty-two-year-old Woodman had been placed into custody June 18 during the Boston Celtics championship celebrations. He was arrested on a public drinking charge.
Woodman’s parents, Jeffrey and Cathy Woodman of Southwick, met with Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley on Thursday morning.
B.S. Report
Yep, it’s a sad story and I feel bad for the guy’s family but there’s something I don’t understand…the story said he didn’t breath for 11 days? I think I found the problem–no wonder he died!
As a die-hard Laker fan, I think that not protecting your rioting fans during the championship celebration should cost the Celtics a draft pick, plus last year’s title should be rescinded. Go Lakers!
