Protesters vow independent Andy Lopez investigation

Activists protesting the fatal shooting of 13-year-old Andy Lopez by a Sonoma County sheriff's deputy said Tuesday they will gather evidence independently from the official investigation and present it directly to the county's district attorney.

Following a small march through Santa Rosa — the sixth in two weeks since the shooting — a delegation of protesters met for about 30 minutes with District Attorney Jill Ravitch and told her they intend to hold a “People's Tribunal” at 1 p.m. Saturday in Juilliard Park in Santa Rosa to collect witness statements and other evidence.

“We will present a mound of evidence in this case,” organizer Jonathan Melrod said after the meeting. “Nobody will have the wool pulled over their eyes; there won't be a whitewash.”

Ravitch confirmed that she would accept outside information from anyone, in addition to the official investigation led by the Santa Rosa Police Department.

We know from the News Reports Witnesses waited for days to report what they saw on that day and were never interviewed by the Sheriffs Dept.
