Rice’s father, Cortez Rice, also attended his son’s funeral, even though he’s currently serving time behind bars.
Harassment charges against him were dropped after he was accused of harassing Judge Regina Chu, who was presiding over the trial of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter.
