Family of Daniel Shaver Retains Mark Geragos;


Demands Federal Investigation
Daniel Shavers widow Laney Sweet, and her family, have hired Mark Geragos
and Geragos & Geragos, APC.
Mesa Police Departments calculated announcement that they will fire Phillip
Brailsford today, two months after he murdered Daniel Shaver, is not coincidental. The
same day that our law firm was hired to investigate this outrageous police cover-up, Mesa
Police Department finally did the right thing.
However, the Mesa Police Department and Maricopa County prosecutors refuse to
release to the victims, our clients, the body-camera footage. Obviously, this is out of a
fear of the public outcry.
The body-camera shows Daniel, unarmed, begging for his life as he follows
commands to crawl on his knees in the hallway of the La Quinta Inn. Daniel was
ruthlessly gunned down by the Mesa Police Department. Not surprisingly, Mesa Police
Department Officer Phillip Brailsfords AR-15 used in this murder was inscribed with the
engraving your fucked.
Any purported firing of Phillip Brailsford by Mesa Police Department comes on the
heels of a secret plea deal offered last week by the Maricopa County prosecutor. We are
informed that this deal was for no jail time. This sweetheart offer was made without
consulting Ms. Sweet and her family and over her vehement protests.
Ms. Sweet and her family will not be silenced. Mark Geragos states:
We are demanding that the Mesa Police Department and County Prosecutors
immediately embrace complete transparency, release the body-camera video,
and prosecute Phillip Brailsford for murder. We will leave no stone unturned,
and spare no expense, to seek justice for Daniel Shaver. We are demanding
the Federal Department of Justice immediately intervene and initiate an
investigation into the murder of Daniel Shaver and into the Mesa Police
Department.
