Fighting For Your Life: The Story Of Leon Ford (Unarmed Pittsburgh Teen Faces 20 Years In Prison After Being Paralyzed By Police Officers)

Leon Ford Jr. was unarmed when pulled over by Pittsburgh police on the night of November 11, 2012. Almost everything that happened next — whether Ford should have been stopped, what happened when Pittsburgh police officers approached Ford’s car, what Ford and the three officers said and did, even the order of events — is disputed.” But this much is not: Ford, 19 at the time of the incident and unarmed, was shot multiple times and left paralyzed below his waist and now faces up to 20 years in prison. He has been charged with aggravated assault along with two counts of reckless endangerment and traffic violations, including running a stop sign and reckless driving.
