Doesn't matter if she is innocent or not. No one deserves to be raped by police. The police cannot win their defamation lawsuit. The station asked for their side of the story and the police refused to give it. The police $uck and taxpayers are going to be left with the bill for their $uckage.
That’s the tv stations version. The police department alleges a different set of facts in their lawsuit.
One fact is that the tv station repeatedly portrays the video as being of a strip search. It was not. It was the execution of a medical order to remove her clothing as a suicide precaution. As well as the evidentiary facts of her intoxication on alchohol and psychotropic medications at the time.
And the police department has the Grand Jury decision of “No true bill” i.e. no criminal acts on their side as well.
I think they have a very good chance of winning a defamation suit. It’s an interesting drama pitting two of the most corrupted institutions against each other in the equally corrupt courts.
