The Johnson family calls on Manny Ramirez to do more after their loved one's death at the Tarrant County Jail.
At Tuesday's Tarrant County Commissioners Court meeting, commissioners honored Charles Eckert, the jail chief who retired in May.
“It is, in my mind, very obvious, that it is no coincidence the timing of this retirement. It immediately follows another death in the jail in April that has been declared by the medical examiner homicide," said Lon Burnam during a public comment.
“Through that investigation, I think all of that comes to light. Right now, as it’s still actively being investigated, I couldn’t decide one way or the other," Ramirez said.
