Statement from Councilmember Frank Moss regarding the Medical Examiner's ruling in the Michael Jacobs, Jr. case:
“It’s important that we allowed the medical examiner to complete his review of this case. Now, the case will be turned over to a grand jury. It will be put in the hands of the citizens. I believe this independent body will be able to provide a rational judgment on what actions should be taken to address this tragedy. Our police officers have a duty to provide a high level of service that our citizens deserve. If the chief’s investigation finds that adjustments are needed, this community will count on him to make the necessary changes to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jacobs family, and we hope that they might find closure sooner rather than later.”
