King family demands body cam video release as both sides lawyer up

• Alongside the family at the announcement was civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represented the families of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in police killings.
• Officer Nicholas O'Malley has enlisted the legal aid of defense attorney David Yannetti, whose previous clients include Karen Read.

Catch up quick: Suffolk County DA Kevin Hayden charged O'Malley with manslaughter after the March 11 shooting in Roxbury.

• Investigators said O'Malley shot King through the driver's side window as he fled in a stolen car, per CBS News Boston.
• Yannetti called the manslaughter charge an overreach, drawing a parallel to the Read case.

Context: King's family said he had been involved with the criminal justice system for years before falling through the cracks after release.

• King had a mental health crisis the day of his death, according to his family, and was at the hospital shortly before the encounter with police.

Between the lines: Axios filed a public records request for the body camera video, but was denied.

What's next: Hayden faces re-election this year and at least two challengers, including his predecessor, former Suffolk County D.A. Rachael Rollins.
