(AP) – A Little Rock woman whose son was killed by a police
officer who was later fired and charged with manslaughter wants a federal judge
to reconsider a ruling dismissing the city and a former police chief from her
wrongful death lawsuit.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports Sylvia Perkins, mother of 15-year-old
Bobby Moore, says the Jan. 27 ruling did not seem to adequately address
documents she filed in the case.
U.S. District Judge Brian Miller dismissed the city of Little Rock and retired
city police chief Stuart Thomas, leaving former officer Josh Hastings as the
sole defendant.
Bobby Moore was shot and killed by Hastings about 5:30 a.m. Aug. 12, 2012, in
a parking lot outside and apartment building. Hastings was tried twice but never
convicted on a manslaughter charge.
