Former Chicago Police Supt. David Brown will be questioned under oath by lawyers for a schizophrenic man who suffered brain injuries when he was body-slammed by a police officer.
Supt. David Brown will be questioned under oath by lawyers for a schizophrenic man who suffered brain injuries when he was body-slammed by a police officer.
Brown in 2020 signed off on a letter that confirmed the finding of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability that Williams had used "massively excessive" force against Kersh, with the superintendent calling for a longer suspension than the one recommended by COPA. But Kersh’s lawyers said they only learned of the letter and damning COPA report in February after seeing a news report about Williams allegedly abusing a detainee.
The judge noted that despite the findings of excessive force by COPA and Brown, city lawyers have argued that outside experts hired to defend the case said Williams’s actions were justified. The judge ordered that Kersh’s legal team will be allowed to depose expert witnesses they had questioned before the city turned over Brown’s letter and also question Brown. The city will be required to reimburse Kersh’s lawyers for the costs and fees for the additional depositions as well as preparing their motion for sanctions against the city.
