Attorney issues apology to Capitol Police officer wrongfully named in lawsuit
SUMMARY: The legal team representing Sherita Harris, who was shot in the head during a traffic stop in Jackson, apologized to Officer Michael Maldonado after mistakenly filing a lawsuit against him. Attorney Carlos Moore corrected the error, stating that officers Michael Rhinewalt and Jeffrey Walker were the ones involved in the shooting incident. Despite a no-pursuit policy, the officers allegedly opened fire, leading to Harris sustaining severe head injuries requiring surgery. Harris is now seeking $3 million in damages for long-lasting cognitive and psychological issues caused by the incident. Moore apologized for the misidentification and emphasized the severity of Harris’s injuries due to the officers’ actions.
