As the $50 million federal police beating lawsuit against Chattanooga, Erlanger hospital and some of the city’s police officers moves through the court, more names are being added to the list of defendants.
The attorney for plaintiff Adam Tatum this week added 23 police officers’ names to his court filings.
Robin Flores said many of the new names are of officers whom he alleges did nothing to stop the June 14, 2012, beating in a federal halfway house that broke Tatum’s legs.
“When we first filed we didn’t know the identities of those officers,” he said Wednesday.
