04 JANUARY 2012 - PHOENIX, AZ: TOM DYSON, left, CRAIG SLOMIN, KEN ALANDT and LOVELY DYSON during a vigil for Marty Atencio in front of the Maricopa County Jail in Phoenix on January 4. Atencio died in a Phoenix hospital on Dec 20, 2011. He was arrested by Phoenix police a few days earlier after he exhibited "bizarre" behavior on the street. He was booked into the Maricopa County Jail. During the booking process he was tackled by Maricopa County Detention Officers and repeatedly hit was a Taser stun gun. He was later found unconscious in a holding cell and transferred to a hospital, where he died four days later. An autopsy showed no signs of illegal drugs or intoxication and a video from the jail showed that Atencio was not violent in the jail. His family has hired a lawyer and may sue the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department, which administers the jail. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
