Former Tacoma officer Timothy Rankine and his wife filed a tort claim against the city of Tacoma and the attorney general's office.
On Sept. 18, 2023, Timothy Rankine talks to codefendant Matthew Collins and an attorney during the pretrial motion at Pierce County Superior Court in Tacoma in the trial of now former Tacoma police officers Christopher Burbank, Collins and Rankine in the killing of Manny Ellis.
“Mr. Rankine is stepping forward together with his wife to seek redress for vilifying him and falsely accusing him of misconduct and basically murder,” Rankine’s attorney Joan Mell said. “When a jury finds a defendant not guilty, the jury is simply saying the prosecutor failed to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury is not saying the defendant is innocent. The jury is not saying we approve of the defendant’s conduct. The jury is just saying the prosecutor did not prove the case,” Lindquist said to KIRO Newsradio.
