In conversation with attorney representing the family of the late Lindani Myeni

The attorney representing the family of the late Lindani Myeni says the wrongful death suit filed on their behalf will only go to trial in September next year. The 29-year-old was shot after a struggle with police in Honolulu, Hawaii exactly a year ago today. A prosecutor later found that the deadly force used by the officers involved in the shooting death were justified and filed no charges. Jim Bickerton, who has represented Lindsay Myeni since her husband’s untimely death says they hope to seek some form of accountability in their civil wrongful death litigation and financial compensation for Myeni family. Here now that conversation with the SABC’s Sherwin Bryce-Pease.
