WEWS: Ayesha Bell Hardaway, associate professor of law and co-director of the Social Justice Institute, discussed possible reasons that the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office may have decided not to test gun residue following the police shooting death of Akron man Jayland Walker. “We know that gunshot residue is easily transferable, easily misinterpreted and has led to the wrongful conviction of individuals across our country,” said Bell Hardaway.
