Some of this is the result of a family overwhelmed with grief and heartache and having to deal with media, lawyers, and people like CCJ at the worst possible moment in their lives.

You’ve got some people who come in with the best of intentions, but there are issues with execution and follow through so it causes more problems than it should. I think that explains Shaun’s involvement. He had the right intentions, but the follow through was a mess.

The lawyers initially involved also bungled things, and putting an administrator in charge also meant that the family would have to go through them for all manner of expenses relating to their son’s death. That could/should have been avoidable. Ticky tack fees/charges by the initial lawyers also shows how unscrupulous some can be and that there are all manner of hidden costs to victims/survivors of these officer-involved shootings.

And then you have CCJ, who epitomizes the worst of humanity in one fell swoop and whose actions here didn’t stop an injustice, but continued one and inflicted more heartbreak on the family at a time when they could least deal with it.
