Ross’ family had called for disciplinary action for Sgt. Larry Moody and William Ortega, but an attorney representing the pair say the officers “followed policy and procedure.”
A grand jury declined to indict two officers Wednesday on charges related to the death of Diamond Ross, a 34-year-old woman who died of an overdose while in Dallas police custody in 2018.
Ross’ family and attorney had called for disciplinary action for the two officers involved in the case, Sgt. Larry Moody and William Ortega, who has since resigned and is now an officer in the Allen Police Department.
“We are pleased that the grand jury reviewed all the facts and followed the law. These officers followed policy and procedure,” said Jane Bishkin, an attorney representing Moody and Ortega.

This is messed up on so many levels!
I get so close to just going all 1800s France and start guillotining people everyday.
With a citizen review board, the community could decide with the department whether officers are at fault for a situation like this, where a suspect dies in police custody. The officers also must pass basic medical training to be deemed fit to protect the community, not just defend it.
