Attorney Ben Crump Responds to New Haven Police Dropping All Charges Against Randy Cox
Attorney Ben Crump Responds to New Haven Police Dropping All Charges Against Randy Cox (New Haven, CT) — Renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump released the following statement on behalf of the legal team for Richard (Randy) Cox in response to the announcement today by New Haven court officials that they will be dropping all charges against him. Cox is now paralyzed due to severe injuries sustained in the back of a police van during transport on June 19:
“When watching the video of the incident that left Randy Cox paralyzed, anyone can discern that these officers had preconceived notions about Randy and his character. The officers did not believe Randy when he said he couldn’t move after being thrown against the wall of a van, and accused him of drinking too much. The New Haven Police Department handled this incident horrifically from start to finish and now they must answer for their conduct. The decision to drop the charges against Randy was absolutely the right one, considering how gravely he was injured while in police custody and how obviously these officers had biases against him.”
