Paralyzed man awarded $23 million wants apology from Fla. deputy who shot him
foxnews.com
A 24-year-old black man awarded $23 million by a federal jury last week said Thursday he forgives the sheriff's deputy who shot and paralyzed him but would like an apology.
Dontrell Stephens, speaking publicly for the first time since the verdict, told a news conference he holds no animosity against Palm Beach County Sgt. Adams Lin but feels Lin owes him an apology.
"You have to forgive people. You can't hold a grudge against someone for what they did, but I would like an apology," Stephens said.
Lin, an Asian-American, shot Stephens in September 2013. Stephens was unarmed when Lin stopped him for riding his bicycle into traffic.
During a federal civil trial that concluded Feb. 3, Lin testified that Stephens put his left hand behind his back and flashed a dark object that he thought was a gun. Videotape from a dashboard camera in Lin's patrol car showed Stephens had his phone in his right hand and that his left hand was empty. The shooting happened four seconds after Stephens got off his bike and walked toward Lin.
