Overview

• A Fulton County grand jury on August 4 declined to indict former Atlanta Police Officer Kiran Kimbrough on manslaughter, simple battery and oath violation counts in Johnny Hollman Sr.’s death.
• District Attorney Fani Willis is conferring with her team about seeking a new grand jury to reconsider potential charges against Kimbrough.
• Body-camera footage shows Kimbrough pressing Hollman to the ground and using a Taser after he refused to sign a citation, and an autopsy ruled the death a homicide with contributing heart disease.
• Hollman’s family called the decision devastating and vowed that their faith and pursuit of accountability would continue.
• The incident prompted the Atlanta City Council to approve a $3.8 million settlement for the family and led police and other departments to bar arrests for refusal to sign traffic citations.
