Carmon V. City Of New Haven Et Al
Summary: This summary outlines multiple lawsuits against the New Haven Police Department, each involving different plaintiffs and allegations of misconduct. The first lawsuit centers around Adam Carmon, who was wrongfully convicted of murder and spent nearly 29 years in prison before being exonerated. Carmon alleges that the police engaged in misconduct, such as suppressing and fabricating evidence, which led to his wrongful conviction. The second lawsuit involves a shooting incident and subsequent police investigation, with the plaintiff, Brantley, challenging the validity of his statements and the police investigation. The third lawsuit focuses on the police obtaining search and seizure warrants for an individual named Little and two associated residences, but failing to find Little or a firearm. The police did not further question or arrest Little despite inconsistencies in his statements and outstanding warrants. The investigation then shifted to Adam Carmon after a firearm was recovered at a crime scene, with the police fabricating evidence to tie Carmon to it. The fourth lawsuit dates back to 1993, where the police coerced false statements, manipulated recordings, and fabricated evidence to implicate Carmon and others in a murder. Overall, these lawsuits allege misconduct by the New Haven Police Department, including evidence suppression, witness manipulation, and coercion of false statements. The plaintiffs seek damages for the violation of their constitutional rights, as well as wrongful arrest and conviction.
