Ben Crump Wants More Charges For Ex-Cop Who Beat Black Woman

On Tuesday, civil attorney Ben Crump announced he is pushing for additional charges against former Shelby, North Carolina, police officer Karson Hyder, whose violent arrest of 34-year-old Cherrie Moore was captured by a doorbell camera.
Hyder faces a single misdemeanor assault charge that Crump argues falls short of accountability; Moore reportedly suffered a mental health crisis when she called for help before being met with violence.
During a community event Tuesday at the God Family Worship Center, Crump stated his legal team is seeking to upgrade the charge against Hyder, demanding he be held accountable "for each punch" delivered.
Hyder was arraigned Tuesday in Cleveland County Court, where he waived his right to a public defender and confirmed he retained private counsel, with a return date set for July 29.
Gregory Moore, Cherrie Moore's father, criticized the Shelby Police Department for failing to contact his family, stating the department has not reached out to check on his daughter despite public outrage.
