Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Malicious Prosecution
In 2008, Illinois Supreme Court overturned Plaintiff's conviction for murder of his ex-girlfriend, concluding State violated his right to due process when it failed to disclose material and exculpatory information about alternative suspect. In this suit, Plaintiff asserted claims of malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and conspiracy against Town of Normal and 3 of its former police officers. Court properly granted summary judgment for Defendants on all claims, including respondeat superior and indemnificaiton claims. (HARRIS and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
