The family of Michelle O'Connell, who was found dead in the home she shared with a St. Johns deputy in 2010, wants an expanded probe into her shooting.
O’Connell’s family and other friends continue to demand a new coroner’s inquest into the matter. The family and their lawyer Benjamin Crump brought this request and testimony from a new witness to State Attorney R.J. Larizza’s office in St. Augustine Tuesday.
While her death has been officially ruled a suicide, many associated with the case believe she was killed by her boyfriend, St. Johns County Deputy Jeremy Banks. He remains on the job today.
WJCT's Melissa Ross spoke with New York Times investigative journalist Walt Bogdanich, the lead reporter in a joint investigation with PBS Frontline of O'Connell's death, about the history of the case and where it stands today.
