"You can't fault somebody for having a medical episode. Just like you can't fault someone for having a heart attack behind the wheel," she said.pleaded guilty Matthew Rushin is still considered a felon and barred from driving and from contacting any of his victims or their families. He and his mother are now seeking a full pardon, saying that his felony conviction makes it harder for him to get a job.
The Virginia Beach Police Department said in a statement that their officers have been trained to identify and respond to people with autism, and expressed sympathy for "all who were impacted by the events of this tragic day."Iyun and Sylvester Osagie's autistic son, Osaze, also had a tragic encounter with police that turned out to be deadly. The 29-year-old was shot and killed by State College, Pennsylvania police in 2019 after a tense confrontation.
When he left the program to live in an apartment with a roommate, the change seemed to disrupt him. In March 2019, his father received worrying messages and texts including one that indicated there would be trouble with the police "in a little bit." Police say someone saw Osaze that morning at a nearby grocery store and alerted police. The closest on-duty officer was sent to Osaze Osagie's apartment - an officer, the Osagies say, who did not know their son or his case.
The Osagies have now filed a lawsuit saying police did not respond appropriately to someone with a known disability having a crisis and that they used "excessive force." Around 20% of autistic youth had been stopped and questioned by police and nearly 5% had been arrested by age 21, according to a 2016 study published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
