Finch v. Rapp

Submitted by Jane Clayton on Wed, 10/19/2022 - 15:00

Police responded to a call for an alleged shooting, which turned out to be a “false swatting call,” a malicious prank by someone not from the address in question; resident exited the home and officer claimed he thought he saw resident reaching for a gun and fatally shot him; court rules jury could find resident was unarmed and not threatening and denies qualified immunity to officer; nothing in videotape indisputably contradicted those findings.
