Slain teen's family not satisfied with Carbonneau sentence
/Eli Escobar's family is no more satisfied on Thursday that justice has
been done, than they were Wednesday. But, the young man's father, also
named Eli Escobar, says he hopes his son's death will lead to better
training for police officers, not just in Houston but across the United
States. Eli Escobar's parents are suing the City of Houston for
wrongful death in the shooting of their son. "They approach children
like they were some kind of gangsters or something, you know. I mean,
children will get scared. Even I, if I were to be apprehended by a
police officer, I would panic a little bit too. But a child is more
different," says the father. Eli Escobar's family is no more satisfied
on Thursday that justice has been done, than they were Wednesday. Lydia Escobar doesn't want a letter of
apology. There are no words that Arthur Carbonneau can say. "There's no
words for him to tell me. There's no words," she says. [more]
