Court upholds claim of excessive force at Attica retake
The New York Court of Appeals reinstated Linda Jones’s suit against the state over police action during the 1971 Attica prison riot. It holds that excessive force used by troopers may render the state liable, referencing the McKay Commission’s finding of high risk of injury to hostages. The decision, joining other rulings, moves to Court of Claims for further action.
