In an interview with East Bay Times, family members of Grant said Pirone should face felony charges for his actions, but attorneys for Mehserle told NBC News that the statute of limitations may make it difficult for O'Malley to do anything significant.

At a press conference on Monday, Grant's family held up photos of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck next to photos of Pirone and Mehserle on top of Grant.

“We’re not holding our breath. But we definitely will be praying that she sees the truth in this issue,” Grant’s uncle, Cephus X Johnson, said about O'Malley.

As Blavity previously reported last year, a large mural of Grant was created at Fruitvale Station where he was killed and a street was named after him.
