"Can he sue LE ?"


Only if he can prove they didn't have enough evidence against him.

Can he sue LE ?

One thing is for sure, he cannot sue the prosecutor or the judge. He could possibly sue LE if he can prove that LE knew he was innocent and if the affidavits signed under penalty of perjury were not based on personal knowledge and were done for improper purposes. Based on what I have read of the trial, I doubt that DW would be successful in a civil rights action against LE or the city. If the prosecutor forced Dusek to prosecute for political purposes, DW might have a cause of action for malicious prosecution or a common law tort. If so, and he is acquitted, there just might be something there.
