The Alabama Bureau of Investigation has
determined police and jailers did NOT use excessive force on a prisoner
who died after going into convulsions at the Selma Police Department.
Kirk Edwards, who was arrested July eighth, on a charge of failing to
appear in court, was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced
dead. The cause of death will not be known until the state completes a
toxicology report. Selma Police Chief Robert Green said he asked the
ABI to investigate the death because he wanted to clear up rumors of
officer misconduct. The ABI, in its report, supported statements from
Coroner Alan Dailey that he did not see any mark on Edwards' body. [more
