Nearly three decades after two New York City police officers carried out murders for organized crime, families of “Mafia Cops” victims can proceed with claims against the city. U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie said the plaintiffs overcame timeliness hurdles and made arguments about deliberate indifference and causation sufficient to raise factual issues for a jury. The murders occurred after the police department in the 1980s investigated Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa for allegedly leaking confidential documents to the Mob.
TWITTER SUES GOVERNMENT
Twitter Inc. sued the federal government on Oct. 7 asking that it be allowed to release detailed information about surveillance requests. According to the suit, the FBI told Twitter last month that a draft report prepared by the company contained classified information and could not be released. “It’s our belief that we are entitled under the First Amendment to respond to our users’ concerns and to the statements of U.S. government officials by providing information about the scope of U.S. government surveillance — including what types of legal process have not been received,” the company said.
