"What they're doing is just causing more pain for my family," Sean Bell's fiancée, Nicole Paultre-Bell, said.
It's one of the reasons why Paultre-Bell said the upcoming trial of these police detectives should stay in Queens.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown released the following statement:
"Nothing contained in the defendants' motion papers changes my belief that a fair and impartial jury can be found among the 2.3 million residents of Queens County. The motion will be vigorously opposed."
The detectives allegedly shot and killed Sean Bell in a hail of 50 bullets. They also injured two of his friends - Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman - outside a Queens nightclub where the men were celebrating Bell's bachelor party. He was supposed to marry his fiancee later that day. The officers allegedly believed Bell had a gun.
"My family was ruined in Queens. These cops were indicted in Queens," Paultre-Bell said. "And this trial should stay in Queens."
Sharpton was joined by those who were with Bell that night. Joseph Guzman, kissing a necklace with an "S" on it for Sean, quoted Brown, who has said that with all the people in Queens, a change of venue should not be necessary.
The trial in the Bell shooting set to begin in Queens on February 4th in Harlem.
