Armstrong v. Ashley

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 03/14/2023 - 15:17

Holding as “conclusory” allegations that defendants suppressed exculpatory police reports and “knowingly and deliberately failed to provide these reports to [defendant], his defense attorneys, or prosecutors” and that defendant would have used reports to impeach witnesses; faulting plaintiff for failing to identify each witness who would have been impeached, which testimony would have been discredited, and which defendant was responsible for suppressing each report; rejecting claim of fabricated evidence based on similar arguments about conclusory allegations; rejecting claims about destruction of evidence and failure to preserve evidence based on argument that allegations of bad faith lacked supporting facts; rejecting “group pleading” against eight law enforcement defendants without factual material of what a particular defendant did; rejecting fabrication of evidence claim by coroner on witness immunity grounds due to insufficiently specific evidence that coroner fabricated evidence prior to trial testimony.
