Local and national media turn their cameras to Stevante Clark after a funeral service on Thursday March 29 as he speaks about his experiences in the weeks following the police-involved shooting death of his brother Stephon
Crump said the results proved that Clark could not have been moving in a threatening fashion toward the officers when they opened fire. Police shooting deaths that shocked the nationThe pathologist says any one of those wounds would have been fatal, and death would have taken three to 10 minutes.
The findings were released amid growing protests in California's capital city over the death of Clark, who was shot in his grandparents' backyard by officers responding to a call about a suspect breaking auto windows.
Omalu said the first of eight shots entered in the side of Clark's body, and that the trajectory of the bullet caused his body to turn so his back was to the officers.
A newly-released autopsy report seems to contradict the police narrative surrounding the shooting of Stephon Clark.
Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Clark's family, told reporters at Friday's news conference that the findings contradicted Sacramento police's characterization of the encounter, which suggested Clark was advancing toward officers. Four of the bullets hit Clark in the back, two of them hit him in the neck, and the final two hit him in the leg and under the armpit.
The findings confirm what appeared clear from the infrared helicopter video Sacramento police officials released of Clark's killing last week: That Clark made no move toward officers and seemed to be going to ground when they opened fire in the dark from the corner of his grandmother's house. They had not disclosed how many bullets hit Clark. Since there are no front entry wounds, Crump asserted in the press conference that it is clear to him that Clark was not a threat to the officers when he was shot.
Clark's death is far from the first police interaction turned tragic, as the local chapter of Black Lives Matter lists a dozen violent encounters a year ago alone. Initially, they said that they thought he was holding a gun.
Arechiga became interested in police shooting after her cousin was shot 13 times by a police officer in 2011. "He was facing the house, with his left to the officers", Omalu said.

His doctors made a decision to put him in an induced coma as his family kept a bedside vigil as he fought for his life last night. Frank Lampard posted on Instagram: "All thoughts and strength with this man and his family tonight".
Mr. Crump said he was expecting the authorities to push back on the findings of the autopsy.
He said that he could not determine if Mr. Clark would have survived if he had received medical attention more quickly, but "every minute you wait decreases probability of survival".
The autopsy was released a day after an emotional funeral service at which the Rev. Al Sharpton, founder of the National Action Network, delivered the eulogy. "The proposition that he was facing officers when he was shot is inconsistent with forensic evidence", Omalu said. Sacramento police did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the private autopsy.
The object found when they rolled over Clarks bleeding body was a white cellphone.

"The bigger question, even beyond this specific case, is if we should allow people to mute their mics at all or under those circumstances", he said Tuesday.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has said state justice officials will oversee the investigation and look into Sacramento police procedures and practices.
"We are deeply saddened by the events associated with Stephon Clark's death, and will continue to do our part to make sure the community is healthy, safe and inclusive", the statement continued.
