In an interview with Action News Jax, the family attorney of Leonard Cure, a 53-year-old man wrongfully convicted and later exonerated, shot by a Camden County Deputy during a traffic stop, speaks out.
It all started after Deputy Buck Aldridge claimed that Cure was driving at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour and recklessly on I-95. When emergency lights were activated, Cure pulled over approximately one minute later.
Deputy Aldridge reportedly demanded that Cure put his hands behind his back, citing an arrest for speeding and reckless driving.Cure in the video could be seen resisting the Deputy’s demands, and the situation escalated into a physical altercation near the side of the road. “When you have escalation met with escalation, nothing good comes out of it. As his family believes, when the officer said, ‘I’m arresting you and taking you to jail,’ he was triggered psychologically back to the point he was wrongfully convicted for almost 17 years,” Crump told Action News Jax.Law and safety expert, Dale Carson, who has years of experience in law enforcement and the FBI, believes the use of a Taser, baton, and lethal force was appropriate.
Leonard Cure’s brother, Michael, expressed his belief that Deputy Aldridge was excessively aggressive from the beginning of the encounter.
