Judge asked to dismiss excessive force claims against Delaware State Police in Kelly Rooks' fatal shooting.
Judge asked to dismiss claims against Delaware State Police over the killing of a mentally ill woman, Kelly Rooks, who was fatally shot by Trooper Dean Johnson. The lawsuit alleges the use of excessive force, failure to intervene by two other troopers, and violations of Rooks' rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the federal Rehabilitation Act. Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Picollelli Jr. argues police did not intentionally discriminate against Rooks and requests the dismissal of several claims.
