Lawyers for both sides are asking a judge to decide the outcome of the lawsuit filed by Jeff Parker's family before it reaches a jury. Parker was killed in 2018 by a Huntsville officer convicted of murder in the shooting.
Attorneys for Parker’s family point to that murder conviction as evidence of wrongdoing by Darby and the city, asking the judge to decide the lawsuit in their favor.
“Here, even though they saw the body cam footage that showed Darby’s wrongful conduct – and even after Darby was convicted — the City’s corporate representative, mayor, police chief, incident review board, and investigations and training commander all have admitted — time and time again over the past four-and-a-half years — that Darby acted within the City’s policies on the use of deadly force and that Darby followed the City’s training on the use of deadly force.
Body camera video shows Darby grab a shotgun from his patrol car, sprint to the house and shout for Parker to drop his gun. Darby fired the fatal shot 11 seconds after entering the house,About a month after the shooting, the Huntsville police department’s internal review board — a panel of three captains — decided that Darbywhen he shot and killed Parker. In fact, Darby returned to work, and the city sent the other two officers for remedial training.
The city’s lawyers argue that the Parker family lawyers can’t point to what the city did after the shooting to prove that they condoned constitutional violations or caused Darby to use excessive force.
