Milton Hall's mother speaks to packed church, says Feds Reviewing Saginaw Police Killing of Black Man Shot 46 Times
Sunday, September 16, 2012 at 02:17AM Milton Hall's mother, Jewel Hall, spoke to a packed Saginaw church to show her appreciation for their support and to state that she is disappointed in the decision to not criminally charge the six Saginaw police officers who fatally shot her son.
Jewel Hall visited the Ephesus Seventh-day Adventist Church, 2115 Wadsworth, on Saturday morning.
After a church service, Hall took the podium overlooking the room packed with people. Several of her family members, including Pastor Michael Washington and former Buena Vista Police Chief Brian Booker, were in attendance. The Democratic candidate for the prosecutor's position John McColgan Jr. and former Saginaw police officer Charles Braddock were also in the church.
She opened with telling the crowd that had gathered she had good news to share.
"The lead attorney from the Detroit District Office of the U.S. Department of Justice informed me on Thursday, September 13, that two weeks ago they began a transparent, independent, comprehensive investigation into the Milton Hall shooting," she said.
The crowd roared and stood with applause.
Saginaw County Prosecutor Michael D. Thomas announced on Wednesday that there would not be any criminal charges against the police officers who killed Milton Hall.
