U.S. Attorney James Santelle and FBI special agent in charge Teresa Carlson meet with reporters Tuesday, May 28, 2013, to explain why no federal charges would be brought against three Milwaukee police officers in whose custody a gasping man died in 2011. Santelle said there wasn't enough evidence for him to prove the officers had specific intent to deprive Derek Williams, 22, of his rights, and that simple negligence or poor judgment was not sufficient.
