His decision was based on evidence that could not be seen on cellphone video of the incident, which showed Sheskey shooting Blake, 29, as he got into a vehicle with his children inside. Blake, who was shot in the back, was left paralyzed.
The video, which was widely shared on social media, sparked protests, vandalism and arson. Sheriff deputies in riot gear and protesters face off outside the Kenosha Police Department on Aug. 23, 2020, after an officer shot Jacob Blake.
"It’s a narrow task today, it’s a legal and professional task," Graveley said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. "If you don’t believe you can prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt, you have an ethical obligation not to issue charges."
