It was announced on Monday (July 11) that Judge Glenda Hatchett and the Hatchett Law Firm will be representing the family of Philando Castile in all civil legal matters related to his death after a traffic stop in suburban St. Paul, Minnesota last week.

Hatchett served eight years as former chief judge of the Juvenile Court of Fulton County, Georgia, and as host of the nationally syndicated “Judge Hatchett” television program.

“I am deeply concerned about what seems to be an epidemic of African-American men being killed by police officers. We have often seemed demonstrations and debates and I raise the critical question, ‘When will there be systemic reform?’ Reform such that, citizens are not in fear of their lives when stopped and questioned by the police,” Hatchett said in a statement.

Castile, a school nutrition supervisor at J.J. Hill Montessori School, had received no prior felony arrests, according to officials.

Hatchett and Castile’s mother, Valerie Castile, will hold a news conference Tuesday morning at the Minnesota State Capitol building to outline their expectations for their civil case, announce funeral arrangements for Castile, and to respond to media questions.

“Valerie Castile and her family are very passionate and committed to ensuring that Philando’s death is not just another statistic,” said Hatchett. “She wants her son’s death to mark a time in this country’s history where reform becomes less about rhetoric and more about reality.”

The news come the same day that Castile’s girlfriend Diamond Reynolds appeared with her lawyer on The View, to discuss the events of that evening and the aftermath. If you missed that, click HERE.
