13:23Now PlayingPolice officers and detention staff will not face charges after a teen dies in custody near Wichita, Kansas.
Last September, Cedric Lofton died at a hospital two days after the altercation at the Sedgwick County Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center.
A December autopsy report contradicted an earlier, preliminary finding that the teenager hadn't suffered life-threatening injuries.
The autopsy ruled the death a homicide. Bennett says the state's "stand your ground" law prevents him from bringing any charges.
On Thursday, Roland spoek with Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett; Andrew M. Stroth, the Lofton Family Attorney and Managing Partner of Action Injury Law Group; Marquetta Atkins, the Executive Director of Progeny; and community activist Pastor Maurice "Moe" Evans of Powerful Community Church in Wichita, Kansas about the announcement of no charges in the Lofton case.
