Chicago Officer, Citing Emotional Trauma, Sues Estate of Teenager He Fatally Shot
By MITCH SMITH   FEB. 7, 2016

CHICAGO — The Chicago police officer who fatally shot a black 19-year-old and an unarmed bystander in December has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $10 million in damages from the teenager's estate.

Basileios J. Foutris, a lawyer for Mr. LeGrier's estate, called the lawsuit "nonsense" and said Officer Rialmo's account of what had happened was "pure fantasy."

"It's a new low for the Chicago Police Department," Mr. Foutris said. "First you shoot them, then you sue them. It's outrageous. I can't believe that this police officer has the temerity to turn around and sue the estate of the person who he killed."
