COLUMBUS, Ohio –– Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump released the following statement after a jury’s decision to find former Columbus police officer Adam Coy guilty of murder, reckless homicide, and felonious assault in the 2020 killing of Andre Hill:
“This verdict delivers a measure of justice for Andre Hill’s family, who have waited nearly four years to see criminal accountability for his tragic and unnecessary death. Andre was an unarmed, innocent man, and his life was taken with disregard for the duty to protect and serve. Today’s verdict underscores that no one is above the law, including those sworn to uphold it.
“We hope these verdicts bring some healing to the Hill family and send a powerful message: accountability in law enforcement is not optional.”
