U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled Monday that former officers from the White Plains Police Department were not entitled to qualified immunity on a motion to dismiss civil claims stemming from the 2011 killing of an elderly and mentally ill black man alone in his city-owned apartment.
The ruling, from a panel of the federal appeals court, revived claims by the family of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr., 68, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who was fatally shot by police in White Plains after he accidentally activated his emergency medical-alert system.
