10:51Now PlayingEvery year, thousands of lawsuits are filed alleging civil rights violations by the police.
The Marshall Project reported only about 5% of the plaintiff’s claiming abuse actually get their day in court, but only a third of those actually win.
The organization takes a look at one incident where officers held down and tased a teenage girl while she was having a seizure.
It took seven years for her case to make it to court, only for a jury to side with the officers in the end.
Wendy Ruderman, staff writer at The Marshall Project, and trial attorney Gregory Harp join Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to discuss.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
