Dan Roy Henry Jr.

That's it.

A month later, Mr. Henry got a call.

Aaron Hess was not indicted on any charge.

The DA's office in Westchester County executed a sham.

Pretty strong words.

Yeah, that's what they did.

And if I could think of a stronger word, I'd use it.

The gentleman was not charged with anything, criminally negligent homicide, manslaughter, murder, anything.

There should have been a charge and there should have been a criminal trial.

The Henrys should have had, if you will, the satisfaction, not that it's much satisfaction, of believing that their son's life had that much value.

Hours after the grand jury decision, after Sussman's repeated urging, the U.S.

Department of Justice began a separate investigation looking into a possible civil rights violation, a federal crime.

Weeks later, Hesse's union named him Officer of the Year.

They said afterwards the award was not meant to be public.

To boost...

The officers?

Because he had been through a lot.

While the Department of Justice was looking into the case, the Henrys filed wrongful death suits against Aaron Hess, the village of Pleasantville, where Hess worked, and the town of Mount Pleasant, where DJ was shot.

In August 2012, nearly two years after DJ's death, Hess came to the U.S.

District Courthouse in Westchester for a deposition in the wrongful death cases.
