CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A toxicology report shows the blood-alcohol level for an unarmed man fatally shot by a Charlotte police officer was below the legal limit.
The attorney for the family of Jonathan Ferrell says the report confirms that the 24-year-old former Florida A&M football player wasn't drunk the night of the September shooting. Chris Chestnut says Ferrell was just trying to get help after he was injured in a car accident.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Officer Randall Kerrick is charged with voluntary manslaughter.
