Devastating Bodycam Footage: Ohio Officer's Deadly Confrontation in Driveway Leads to Family Compensation

The family of Michael Whitmer, who was tragically shot by an Ohio police officer, has arrived at a confidential agreement regarding a lawsuit for wrongful death. Officer Cecil Morrison, after positioning himself behind Whitmer's vehicle as it reversed, discharged his weapon multiple times. He later faced charges of misdemeanor negligent homicide and entered a no contest plea. This led to the revocation of his law enforcement certification, preventing any future police involvement in Ohio. The incident unfolded on July 27, 2021, following a domestic violence report. In a chaotic turn of events, the unarmed Whitmer tried to leave his driveway with his young son in the backseat, resulting in shrapnel wounds. Chelsea Whitmer, his wife, shared her ongoing heartache, highlighting the significant emotional toll on their children and family dynamics.
