Tulsa County District Attorney Stephen Kunzweiler held a news conference related to the shooting death of Terence Crutcher and announced the filing of the felony crime of manslaughter in the first degree.
He asserted that “Officer Shelby is presumed to be innocent until a judge or jury determines otherwise.”
He addressed the local pastors, “All of your flock regardless of their color, creed , background, social status, employment or neighborhood, need the wisdom of your guiding hands.”
He also addressed the media, saying they need to be “objective messengers of the facts which report the truth.”
