113291P.pdf 10/15/2012 Carroll White v. Burdette Searcey
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3291
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. For a related case, see the court's opinion in
No. 11-2882, Winslow v. Smith, issued this date. The district court did
not err in denying defendants' motion for summary judgment based on
qualified immunity as there was sufficient evidence to show that
defendants acted in concert to violate White's civil rights by
manufacturing false evidence, and the district court did not err in
concluding that the violations were so egregious that they shocked the
conscience; the right to be free from the purposeful use of false evidence
to secure a conviction was clearly established at the time of defendants'
actions.
