7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Shanika Day v. Franklin Wooten
19-1930
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.
Civil tort. Reverses the denial of qualified immunity to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Officer Randall Denny and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Sgt. Franklin Wooten. Finds the officers’ conduct in placing Terrell Day in handcuffs did not violate the teenager’s Fourth Amendment rights even though he complained of not being able to breathe and eventually died in custody. The autopsy report concluded Day’s death was caused in part by having his hands cuffed behind his back, but the appellate panel ruled there is no precedent giving an arrestee the right to not have his hands cuffed behind his back after he complains of difficulty breathing. Remanded for further proceedings.
