The DA's decision is now bringing calls for the officers who were involved to be fired and prosecuted.
Travis County's District Attorney will not prosecute an Austin man who allegedly hit a police officer earlier this year during a fight. The incident happened on 6th Street and was recorded by more than one camera.
"These officers who not only beat Elisha, but lied on him, they have a history of doing this to other citizens in Austin," said Justin Moore, Wright’s attorney. "This supports our initial claim that Elisha was the victim in this particular predicament," said Moore. FOX 7 requested APD to comment and provide an update. The department doubled down on it original statement from May and stood by the allegation.
