The lawyer for the family of slain Pace University football player and Easton native Danroy "DJ" Henry claims that top-ranking Mount Pleasant policemen and the Westchester County District Attorney's office covered up important information surrounding his 2010 death.

Danroy Henry Sr., the father of Easton native DJ Henry, who was shot and killed by Pleasantville, NY Police Officer Aaron Hess in New York in 2010, released a YouTube video Monday night expressing his views regarding materials recently made available to the public. He said the materials, which include audio, dash cam videos, and testimony from witnesses, should be viewed in the context of an investigative process which Henry called "flawed." "What we hope folks will do is keep in context the source of this information," he said in the video. "This was gathered, we think, with some bias, because it was gathered through an investigative process that we have already said on record, we think was flawed." "...It doesn’t mean all of it is …
