The Atlanta Civil Service Board has reinstated Garrett Rolfe, the fired Atlanta Police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy’s parking lot last summer.

The board’s decision was announced on Wednesday, and it stated:

“Due to the City’s failure to comply with several provisions of the Code and the information received during witnesses’ testimony, the Board concludes the Appellant was not afforded his right to due process. Therefore, the Board GRANTS the Appeal of Garrett Rolfe and revokes his dismissal as an employee of the APD.”

Rolfe, who is still facing murder charges in the death of Brooks and is presently in a legal limbo, requested to have his firing overturned in a proceeding before the board last month.
