Cameron v. N.Y.
Cameron v....(U.S. 2d Cir., Civil Rights, Criminal Law & Procedure, Evidence, Injury And Tort Law) In an action for false arrest and malicious prosecution, judgment for defendant-officers is reversed where: 1) prosecutors’ opinions as to probable cause and complaining officers’ credibility are irrelevant in virtually all cases involving claims of malicious prosecution; and 2) the introduction of such evidence was not harmless because it provided strong external validation for propositions that otherwise would have come in only from the defendants’ mouths.
