FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SUTHERLAND FAMILY STATEMENT

Charleston, SC – In response to the agreement reached between the Estate of Jamal Sutherland
and the government entities, the family of Jamal Sutherland offers the following:

Justice for Jamal will come in many forms. We are pleased to have negotiated a
settlement with the government entities that provides the type of civil justice he
deserves, but our work is not yet done. With God’s help, we will continue the
necessary conversations with local, state, and federal leaders to ensure that
everyone affected by mental illness is treated with the same dignity and respect we
all deserve and demand. As we move forward, please continue to pray for our
family, our community, each other, and justice for Jamal.
