Supreme Court declines to hear DeRay Mckesson's appeal in Baton Rouge police officer lawsuit over 2016 protest.
The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Black Lives Matter activist, DeRay Mckesson, who is facing a lawsuit from a Baton Rouge police officer injured during a 2016 protest. The case, which could impact the legal risks of engaging in public demonstrations, centers on whether the leader of a protest can be held liable for injuries inflicted by an unidentified person when the protest leader did not authorize or direct the violent act. Mckesson's case will return to a lower court for further review.
