Gibson’s legal team submitted a lawsuit asking for $5 million from FedEx. A federal judge dismissed it on Aug. 10, deciding the suit did not prove the company discriminated against him because of his race. The suit also mentioned the city of Brookhaven, where the incident occurred, the local police chief and Brandon and Gregory. Moore said he’s gearing up to file a new civil suit in state court, seeking $10 million.

A report regarding the incident was issued by a grand jury last month. In it, the jury determined that Brookhaven Police Department officers “poorly investigate their cases,” AP reported. The grand jury, which consisted of local Brookhaven residents, wrote the department is “complacent,” “does not complete investigations in a timely manner” and shows a “lack of professionalism.” They also claimed the department “has a habit of witness blaming.” Over 60 criminal cases were referred to as the jury was making its decision.
