The family of John Hernandez doesn’t want people to forget about the heinous choke-hold death.

On Thursday, they held a press conference in an effort to ensure the case doesn’t lose the momentum it built after Hernandez’s death and the arrests of Thompsons.

Terry Thompson is charged, along with his wife, sheriff’s deputy Chauna Thompson, in the crime. Thompson had “previously been under the care of a psychiatrist and demonstrated problems controlling his anger and temper,” records show.

In addition, the couple was involved in a contentious custody dispute prior to their marriage in 2000.
