Attorneys representing IMPD filed a motion to temporarily stop the release of the unedited body cam footage from the night of Herman Whitfield III's death. The filing comes on the day of their deadline to release the footage by a judge last week.
Last week, a judge ordered the release of the footage by Monday. That order was part of the wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of the estate of Whitfield III,
Whitfield III died in IMPD custody on April 25 after being tased and handcuffed while laying on his stomach. Attorneys said in court Monday that they want the court to issue a temporary blockage of the bodycam footage, arguing the footage could cause great harm to the defense, affect the integrity of their investigation as a grand jury has not been selected and jurors could see the footage if made public.
