With a 2-to-1 vote, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals revived a discrimination suit brought by a former Union City police detective who said she was fired after refusing to submit to a voluntary Taser shock as part of her training.
Former Detective Jacqueline Lewis suffered a mild heart attack the year before the Taser training was implemented, and her doctor recommended that she not be subjected to an electrical shock.
