Police blasted in rape case

Law professor Peter Henning is quoted in a story about a lawsuit filed against the Clinton Township Police Department by a resident who says he was falsely arrested in a rape case. "The problem for the township is they're going to be on the hook for what the officers did, and this is not a very sympathetic case for them," Henning said. He pointed out that the defendant, who went to prison for the alleged crime and was later proven innocent by DNA evidence, has a strong case against township authorities.
