NEW YORK - (AP) -- Eric Garner's wife says her husband had a history of arrests, but she says he wasn't resisting arrest before a police chokehold led to his death.
Resisting arrest was the premise on which officers say they brought down Garner on a sidewalk in the New York borough of Staten Island.
Esaw (EEH'-saw) Garner told NBC's 'Meet the Press' on Sunday her 43-year-old husband was 'murdered unjustly.'
A bystander's video showed Garner saying 'I can't breathe' as officers held him down. Authorities say Garner was being arrested on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
She says she and her children have moved out of their Staten Island neighborhood for fear of what could happen to her sons at the hands of police.
