What's the best way to write this sentence?

Question

I'm trying to include a parenthetical phrase, "a victim of police brutality," in the following sentence to add necessary information to the subject (Graham). What would be the best way to do so here? How could this sentence best be written?

Despite deriving from a Supreme Court ruling in Graham’s favor, a victim of police brutality, the law was seemingly written more to defend the police than the citizens and victims they are intended to protect.

Answer 1

Only to include the parenthetical:

Despite deriving from a Supreme Court ruling in favor of Graham, a victim of police brutality, the law was seemingly written more to defend the police than the citizens and victims they are intended to protect.

How I think the sentence could be written best:

While the law derives from a Supreme Court ruling in favor of a victim of police brutality, it defends police over the victims which they were intended to protect.

Why:

1. Graham's name isn't important, and you don't directly cite the case, so only his relation to the sentence is best to include
2. Citizens and victims being juxtaposed isn't necessary, as when they are it assumes that general citizens are protected.
3. Omitting "seemingly" makes your argument stronger. Follow up with reasoning!

Answer 2

If everything were to be mandatory for one sentence alone, you could make the following edit:

Despite deriving from a Supreme Court ruling in favor of Graham, a victim of police brutality, the law was seemingly written more to defend the police than the citizens and victims they are intended to protect.

I hope this helped!
