Judge denies requests to release body-cam video of Andrew Brown shooting

Judge said he believed videos contained information that could harm the investigation or threaten safety of people in the footage

A judge on Wednesday denied requests to release body-camera video in the case of a Black man who was shot to death by North Carolina deputies as they tried to arrest him on drug-related warrants.

Judge Jeffery Foster said he believed the videos contained information that could harm the investigation or threaten the safety of people seen in the footage. He said the video must remain out of public view for at least 30 days.
