We recently filed a civil rights complaint against two Lynn police officers and the City of Lynn for falsely arresting our client, Mr. Randy Spearing, for a violent assault that occurred in May 2016. Mr. Spearing had no involvement in the crime. The Lynn police officers conducted an improper investigation. They ignored evidence that their investigation focused on the wrong gas station and that Mr. Spearing did not commit the crime. They fabricated police reports to conceal the absence of probable cause to arrest and charge Mr. Spearing.
We recommend this article about the case. In the article, the lawyer for the City of Lynn is quoted as saying that the police lineup was insufficient because it wasn’t positive identification. However, the victim did make a positive identification; he identified a different person, not Mr. Spearing.
