The hearings are scheduled to take several weeks. He said a medical examiner the family used is willing to testify. Bradford addressed a group of about 50 people who had walked shouting "no justice, no peace" from the King Street apartment where his brother was shot to Perth Amboy Police Headquarters on Fayette and Rector streets.
