The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that a state trooper accused of using excessive force during a traffic stop was not immune from suit under sovereign immunity.
The court ruled 6-1 to overturn a Commonwealth Court ruling in Justice v. Lombardo that said sovereign immunity made irrelevant the details of an incident in which plaintiff Shiretta Justice was allegedly injured by Trooper Joseph Lombardo during an altercation following a traffic stop over a broken taillight.
