A jury in Missouri found that a Black man died by violence and not suicide — as authorities had previously determined.
The jury, which did not offer a determination of who was responsible for Martin’s death, ruled in about two hours last week that Martin died by violence. It could have determined that his death was a suicide or an accident or that he died from natural causes, KSDK reported.
Robbins could not be immediately reached for comment Tuesday afternoon. It was unclear how the case will proceed. Martin’s mother, Erica Lotts, told the station that she was relieved and elated after the jury’s finding.Lotts danced in the courthouse after the decision before she briefly collapsed in a chair and cried.
Toxicology results found that Martin had drugs in his system. KSDK reported that three Missouri Highway Patrol troopers testified that they believed Martin took his own life.
