: Legal Pad | LASuit against LAPD dismissed
By Richard Binder
A judge on Monday threw out a lawsuit filed by the mother of a toddler killed by a SWAT officer's bullet during an attempted hostage rescue in 2005.
L.A. County Superior Court Judge Rolf M. Treu granted the city's motion o dismiss the case minutes before closing arguments were due to begin, saying police officers have the discretion to use deadly force and that a jury could reach only one conclusion: that the officers acted reasonably.
The city contended in trial that officers attempted the rescue in the best tactical way possible, and that the baby's father was the only one to blame for her death because he chose to repeatedly hold her as a shield during the hours-long standoff.
Daniel Rodriguez, Lopez's attorney, said after Monday's ruling that the jury should have been allowed to hear the case.
