Tyler Jarrell was 18 and had recently enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. His family has hired the firm to investigate the Wednesday malfunction that killed him. The law firm has retained investigators to reconstruct the malfunction and determine how and why it happened. It says the investigators will work with police and other agencies.
