Atlanta lawyer Craig T. Jones said that when the U.S. Supreme Court in April ruled against his case against a police officer over injuries suffered during a high-speed chase, he feared the decision "kind of sealed the fate" of a similar matter pending at the 11th Circuit. He may be right, as a panel last week concluded that they had "no doubt" the high court decision meant that a former officer didn't violate the rights of a man who the officer had been chasing and who died after the two cars collided.

Atlanta lawyer Craig T. Jones said that when the U.S. Supreme Court in April ruled against his case against a police officer over injuries suffered during a high-speed chase, he feared the decision “kind of sealed the fate” of a similar matter pending at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Jones may be right, as an 11th Circuit panel last week held that the high court ruling in favor of a Coweta County, Ga., police officer set a favorable precedent for an officer from Toccoa, Ga.
