| Description | The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision Monday made it easier for people to sue the police for malicious prosecution.
The ruling revived a lawsuit brought by a Brooklyn man who sued after being arrested and jailed for two days based on officers’ mistaken belief he had sexually abused his newborn daughter. Criminal charges against the man, Larry Thompson, were later dropped without explanation. |
