FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — A judge allowed bond Thursday for a Florida sheriff's deputy who was fired and charged with manslaughter after shooting a U.S. Air Force senior airman at the Black man's apartment door.
Duran had been ordered held pending Thursday's pretrial detention hearing despite arguments from his lawyer Rodney Smith, who said there's no reason to jail him. The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office initially said Duran fired in self-defense after encountering a man with a gun, but Sheriff Eric Aden fired Duran on May 31 after an internal investigation concluded his life was not in danger when he opened fire. Outside law enforcement experts have also said that an officer cannot shoot only because a possible suspect is holding a gun if there is no threat.
