Breaking story: Maryland’s Attorney General plans to review all in-custody death reports in the state from 2003-2020 following the testimony of Dr. David Fowler in the #DerekChauvin trial. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
The news also comes days after the family of #AntonBlack spoke out against Fowler testifying in the #DerekChauvin trial. Black, 19, died in police custody in 2018. His family filed a lawsuit nearly two years later. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
The decision to review in-custody cases under Fowler’s supervision came after 431 physicians— including a former D.C. chief medical examiner—signed a letter Thursday penned to the Maryland AG office criticizing Fowler in the #ChauvinTrial. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
“We welcome the governor and the attorney general’s office to get involved in seeking justice for Anton black and his family,” Kenneth Ravenell, an attorney representing the family of #AntonBlack in a lawsuit against Fowler said in a statement. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
Maryland-ACLU also backed #AntonBlack’s family in a lawsuit against Fowler alleging a cover-up in the teenager’s death in 2018, which was filed in December. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…

The amount of times I’ve been told as a reporter by residents that Black communities are not used to reporters who look like them telling their stories is truly sad. But we press on.
Reporters forget that residents in these communities are well aware of who parachutes in their communities when tragedies happen.
Editors and other leaders who won’t invest in the the minds of the Black reporters they hire do the communities they cover a disservice. We aren’t tokens, we are here to ignite change you haven’t seen.
