At Rest

Deadly force
Deputy Kyle Woods said that Nate Pickett jumped a fence and "became uncooperative" when a deputy stopped to question him. When the deputy tried to handcuff Pickett, the two began fighting, and the deputy shot and killed Pickett. Jurors found that the deputy unreasonably detained Pickett, unreasonably delayed medical aid and was negligent in the use of deadly force and awarded his family $33.5 million.
This record exists so that Nathaniel “Nate” Harris Pickett, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
