No charges in Taser case
FREDERICK - The attorney for a Frederick County sheriff's deputy who delivered a fatal electric shock to a 20-year-old man says his client is gratified he won't face criminal charges.
A grand jury ruled Friday that Cpl. Rudy Torres was justified in using his Taser to subdue 20-year-old Jarrel Gray after Gray did not obey commands to show his hands in November. Gray was shocked twice and died three hours later.
Ted Williams, a lawyer hired by Gray's family, says the family might take the case to the Justice Department.
