Supreme Court Declines Case Against Organizer Facing Civil Damages w/ Movement Lawyer Maggie Ellinger-Locke (G&R 287)
Manage episode 413280850 series 3240071
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear McKesson v. Doe. The case involves a police officer injured during a Black Lives Matter protest after the police murder of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La in 2016. The injured police officer sued the organizer DeRay McKesson for damages. Last year, the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit sided with the officer. The Supreme Court, for a second time, declined to hear the case.
The impact of the Supreme Court's decision to decline to hear the case is potentially devastating for organizers of mass protests.
In our latest, Scott talks with movement lawyer Maggie Ellinger-Locke about the case and the precedent it may be setting up.
