U.S. DISTRICT COURT — The family of Ramarley Graham, the unarmed teen gunned down by police in his own home, hope that a federal civil suit will offer a second chance at justice that was denied when the criminal case against the police officer who shot Graham fell apart. The lawsuit, and another filed by Grahams neighbor who was threatened by police just before the shooting, was cleared to proceed by U.S. District Court Judge P. Kevin Castel Tuesday. Both suits name former Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and the NYPD as defendants. [Officer] Richard Haste should have been indicted, said Ramarley Grahams mother Constance Malcolm, referring to the officer who fired the fatal shot at her son almost two years ago. The courtroom today was packed, which shows people want to see justice done.
