A rally for Chris Brown

TOWSON, Md. - A rally was staged outside of the office responsible for investigating the details leading up to the death of 17-year-old Chris Brown.

"If they collected all the evidence, as I see it, the grand jury would have come up with the murder charges," said Chris Brown, the victims mom.

His mom called on Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger to answer her questions. Back in June, Brown was near a group of teens throwing rocks at front doors when one hit Officer James Laboard's.

Witnesses say the nine-year veteran chased Brown and held him down. He died from asphyxiation.

Officer Laboard was charged with one count of manslaughter, one count of involuntary manslaughter, and released on no bail. For Brown's family, it's not enough.

"Life is too short to walk past and do nothing about things that need to be changed," said Christen Brown, Browns sister.

They want to know why Laboard wasn't charged with second degree murder, and there's a call to create a civilian review board.

"There's something called due process that we all have and when it's not followed the citizens should have somewhere to turn," Mary Jane Oelke, Founder, Baltimore County Action Group.

The State's Attorney's Office had no comment, but Brown feels her opinions could change how the case is handled.

"There's a lot of loopholes that we've allowed to happen and something's got to be done different," said Chris Brown.

In announcing his ruling, the judge said it's not a matter of leniency. It's a matter of what's fair and appropriate. It took two weeks before Officer Laboard was charged.

Chris Brown's mom had a different opinion, one she says she'll get across on Tuesday when she meets with States Attorney Scott Shellenberger. Well let you know how that meeting goes.
