E. Haven officers not liable i

2010-07-30 15:05:42

A nine-member federal jury Thursday found that two police officers were not liable for false arrest and malicious prosecution, as a man had claimed in a lawsuit stemming from his 1997 arrest at the Laurel Woods Nursing Home on North High Street, where his grandmother had been an Alzheimer's patient.

The jury in U.S. District Court in Hartford, in finding that Officers Michael D'Amato and John Casio were not liable, awarded nothing to plaintiff Randall Holman of Washington Depot in the town of Washington, said attorney Hugh F. Keefe of Lynch Traub Keefe & Errante in New Haven, who represented East Haven in the case, which was heard by U.S. District Judge Christopher Droney.

France Holman was represented by attorney Joseph Merly of the New Haven law firm of John R. Williams and Associates. Merly could not immediately be reached for comment. Holman filed suit after charges of interfering with police, trespassing and breach of peace that stemmed from his arrest were nolled in Superior Court in New Haven, Keefe said.

According to Keefe, Holman was visiting his grandmother, Dorothy Press, in October 1997, two days after he had tried to make arrangements to take her to the Foxwoods Resort Casino. Nursing home staff had told Holman he could not take his grandmother out because she had treatment scheduled for that day, but he showed up and demanded that staff release her, Keefe said.

The conflict continued to a point where Laurel Woods staff told Holman he had to leave and called police, who are located just a few hundred yards away from the nursing home on North High Street.

D'Amato and Casio responded "and spent 30 minutes trying to cajole him and coax him and defuse the situation," Keefe said. "He still refused to go. He wrapped his hands around the pole, fell to the ground," and the officers "ended up Macing him, handcuffing him and carrying him out to the police car."

Holman's wife testified in court that she and their then-2-year- old son also were sprayed with Mace, Keefe said.

The trial began Monday, Keefe said, and Thursday the case went to the jury of two men and seven women, which took about three hours to reach a verdict, he said.

Economic Analysis

2010-07-29 13:09:37

JOE KERNEN, CNBC ANCHOR: Well, we continue to track energy market moves, just talking about it again with our guest hosts, with the reaction to all of this Middle East tension. Investors are going to pay close attention to whether it is getting passed through or how it -- whether it shows up in the PPI. That is 8:30 this morning. The CNBC/Dow Jones survey calls for an increase of 0.3 percent in the overall PPI, and 0.2 percent in the core component. If you saw 0.3 in the core, it might be a problem. Let`s get a look at the environment, we are turning to Michelle Girard, senior economist with RBS Greenwich Capital. Is that.

(LAUGHTER)

MICHELLE GIRARD, SENIOR ECONOMIST, RBS GREENWICH CAPITAL: Joe.

KERNEN: Could it happen?

GIRARD: Well, you know, we are looking for a 0.3 core, although, you know, the big number is going to be tomorrow`s CPI. You know, even within the PPI, the PPI is an interesting report. It is producer prices, but what makes it interesting is that you can see not only the change in prices at the finished goods level, which is that headlines number you were talking about, but prices further back in the production MBT Shoes process. And there, I mean, if you think a 0.3 core rate is scary on the finished goods level, the gains in the core intermediate and core crude or raw materials prices have been much scarier. You know, we are running on a year-over-year basis in the raw materials number up like 3 percent. So the good news, and this kind of carries all the way through, is that at every level of production, smaller and smaller price increases are getting passed through. And even now getting to the PPI, that 0.3 core rate number, it is not a great number, but if you look to the CPI, you know, still, the pass-through has been -- you know, has versace handbag been relatively limited. And so, you know, that is where the -- you know, sort of the rubber hits the road in terms of the Fed.

KERNEN: Is there anything that can come out in the PPI in some of the -- if you parse the details that could really hit the bond market or really, you know, set to fire inflationary expectations today, or is it all about tomorrow?

GIRARD: Well, I think it is about tomorrow. And there is not a lot you can take away from the PPI that has a whole lot of relevance for the CPI . For example, the correlation between the core PPI number what we will get tomorrow on the core CPI is relatively low. But, you know, any kind of upside surprise would increase the jitters about what we will see tomorrow. And I have to tell you, I mean, I think in terms of the Fed and what we are going to see at the August meeting, it really is about all tomorrow`s CPI print (ph). I mean, if we get another 0.3 increase, excluding food and energy, on the CPI, even with some signs of moderation in the economy, the Fed is probably going to be forced to react to that and raise rates again in August.

KERNEN: So if you see a 0.3 tomorrow on the CPI, you expect Fed futures for August to climb back up to, what, 80 percent or so?

GIRARD: Yes. Exactly. I mean, I would say that we would probably -- you know, our odds, which are now favoring a pause in August, would climb back above 50 towards a, you know, 60 or 70 percent level. And, of course, we will have an opportunity to hear what the Fed chairman himself and the Fed thinks about the CPI. They will have the number this afternoon. And while most of the speech has to already be written, he will have the opportunity to perhaps change a sentence or two, or in the question and answer period, address what the CPI did. So I think when w
