Honesty, boldness and trustworthy are some of the reasons Bamberg decided to change his support to Sanders recently. The Vermont candidate's position on single-payer health care is a critical issue in Bamberg's area and another main reason for switching his endorsement to Sanders from Clinton in Dec.
The S. C. state representative and attorney was a prominent figure in the effort to take the Confederate flag down from the South Carolina Statehouse.
Justin T. Bamberg was also the lawyer for the family of Walter Scott, the police-shooting victim. Mr. Scott, age 50 and unarmed, was shot and killed in April 2015 while running away from North Charleston police officer Michael Slager. Slager was subsequently arrested, indicted, denied bail for months and then released earlier this month once a new trial date was set.
