FILE - Attorney Michael Harper holds a photo of Lashawn Thompson's cell in the Fulton County, Ga., Jail at a news conference, May 22, 2023, at the state Capital in Atlanta. Thompson died in the bedbug-infested cell in the county jail’s psychiatric wing in 2023. The Fulton County Sheriff said Friday, July 12, 2024, that a decision this week not to move forward with plans to build a new jail is short sighted.
