SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 2 – Jermaine
Dunham, after
being bitten
by an NYPD
police dog in
2008, filed a
handwritten,
pro se lawsuit
in 2011.
On
May 2, 2023
the trial was
finally
winding down
before U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Andrew L.
Carter
Inner City
Press was
there, the
only media in
the
courtroom.
Judge Carter
wanted to have
the closing
arguments in
the afternoon,
fifty minutes
each.
But
the NYC
Corporation
Counsel could
not or would
not commit to
50 minutes,
wanting to
push it to May
3.
That
will occur -
and late on
May 2, the
City wrote in
to "establish"
that plaintiff
"reached for
the gun after
Officer
Lobello placed
his hand on
Mr. Dunham's
chest."
The
case is Dunham
v. Lobello, 11-cv-1223
