NEW YORK — More than three years after her son Ronald Greene, an unarmed Black man, died in police custody, Mona Hardin said she still struggles to talk about him in the past tense.
But now her family is one step closer to getting justice after a grand jury charged five law enforcement officers Thursday for Greene’s death.
York faces one charge of negligent homicide and 10 counts of malfeasance. Harpin faces three counts of malfeasance while Clary faces one count of malfeasance and one count of obstruction of justice. Both Demoss and Peters face one count of obstruction of justice. The initial police report said Greene died due to a car crash. But in May 2021, two years after Greene's death, Louisiana State Police released hours of body camera video that showed a violent struggle between Greene and police. State troopers are seen punching and using a stun gun on Greene after he crashed his car following a pursuit in northern Louisiana on May 10, 2019.
