“The federal lawsuit was filed this week”
CLEVELAND — A Cleveland police officer is suing the Cleveland Police Department, the city, police chief and her former partner.
“We want some recognition from the city and from the police department that what happened to Jenny is wrong, and we want some recognition that the city needs to put it right,” said Matthew Besser, of Bolek-Besser-Glesius who is representing Kilnapp. The lawsuit claims despite forensic evidence from BCI and homicide detectives early on in the case that suggested it was one of Gannon’s bullets that struck Kilnapp, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office charged the man in the home for attempted murder.
