ATLANTA — A U.S. Marshal and Clayton County police officer charged in Fulton County with murdering Jamarion Robinson are both now seeking to have their case moved to federal court.

Robinson is the man shot 59 times by law enforcement in 2016, according to a medical examiner report. If the case is moved, federal court filings show the pair plan to seek immunity as federal officers.

Georgia DA Demands Records on Man Shot 59 Times
The Atlanta-area district attorney claims in court that the Department of Justice has refused to hand over records about members of a federal task force who fatally shot a black student-athlete at least 59 times.

KAYLA GOGGIN / December 28, 2018
ATLANTA (CN) – The Atlanta-area district attorney claims in court that the Department of Justice has refused to hand over records about members of a federal task force who fatally shot a black student-athlete at least 59 times.

Jamarion Robinson, a 26-year-old student and football player at Clark Atlanta University, was shot and killed by a team of local and federal officers who broke down the door to his girlfriend's apartment on Aug. 5, 2016, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Atlanta federal court by the office of Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard.


"It has now been 875 days since the officers killed Mr. Robinson, and the DOJ has yet to provide any of the documents or evidence requested and has failed to provide any investigative reports relating to Mr. Robinson's death," the complaint states.
========================
Robinson was not charged with any federal crime and there was no federal arrest warrant pending for him, the lawsuit states.

Except for a traffic violation, Robinson's record was clean, the DA says.

==============
“The medical examiner recorded over 59 entry wounds into Mr. Robinson’s body. Without the documents requested, described herein, there is a question as to whether Mr. Robinson’s killing was justified,” the complaint states.
