U could have come out a lot better. Just gotta be patient... not many people have that
No. Case law comes only from the appellate courts. To get there, the defendants would have to have been found guilty and appealed the decision up to a senior enough court. That may be a consideration in the city's strategerie.Is this now case law in Wisconsin?

Welcome to OCDO's amen-corner. No second guessing!Please do not 2nd guess this. We went with the advise of counsel.

The question remains, why settle?
If the Mad 5 are the plaintiffs and the city/cops are the defendants in this 1983 suit, why not get a jury to find them guilty?

Anyway, it is a moot point.....now.
Why? Because WCI isn't in it for the money. WCI is in it to restore our rights and defend those who have their rights assaulted.
