Ben Crump Representing Charles Adair Family In Civil Lawsuit

Ben Crump, along with co-counsel Harry Daniels, Gabrielle Higgins, and Sue-Ann Robinson, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of Charles Adair's family against Wyandotte County, Deputy Richard Fatherley, and Sheriff Daniel Soptic. Adair was held at the Wyandotte County detention center in Kansas City, Kansas last July. Crump says the suit was driven by the county's refusal to release video of the incident despite criminal charges already being filed.
