'We want to thank Colin Kaepernick for helping this family get to the truth and soon,' said AttorneyCrump while announcing Kaepernick7 would pay for an independent autopsy for LashawnThompson, who was 'eaten alive' by insects in the Fulton County Jail.
"We want to thank Colin Kaepernick for helping this family get to the truth and soon," said civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump, who is representing relatives of Lashawn Thompson.Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump on Thursday said that former NFL quarterback and racial justice activist Colin Kaepernick will pay for an independent autopsy for Lashawn Thompson, a mentally ill man who died last September in a filthy, insect-infested cell in an overcrowded Atlanta jail.
"What happened to Lashawn Thompson is a human rights violation," the attorney added."If we don't ask the questions and we don't get the answers and we don't get to the truth, then next time it could be your loved one. This isn't just about Lashawn Thompson. This is about every citizen in Fulton County, Georgia."
;“These are the DEPLORABLE and inhumane conditions Lashawn Thompson had to endure during his stay in the psychiatric wing of the Fulton County Jail. After his death, he was found with insect bites all over his body. We cannot look away, we must demand justice!;”Jail records show that medical and correctional staff repeatedly noted—and voiced concerns about—Thompson's deteriorating health but did not help him.
An official autopsy could not determine the cause of Thompson's death but noted an"extremely severe" insect infestation on his body.
