Marquette Files Response in Civil Case | March 18, 2025 | News 19 at 4 p.m.
SUMMARY: Marquette has filed a response to the civil lawsuit from Stephen Perkins’ family, asserting that his shooting death by a Decatur police officer was justified. The former officer claims that Perkins posed an imminent threat during a botched repossession in September 2023, asserting his right to self-defense and qualified immunity under Alabama’s Stand Your Ground laws. He denies violating Perkins’ constitutional rights and argues that he is protected from prosecution. This response is part of the legal proceedings leading to a March 25 hearing where a judge will decide if the case will proceed, as Perkins’ family seeks accountability.
