United States District Judge, Room 521

             October 17, 2010, Pace University football star and student DJ Henry (DJ) was shot and killed by Village of Pleasantville Police Officer Aaron Hess.  His friends and teammates were brutalized, tasered, beaten by police and wrongfully charged with false criminal charges for attempting to save his life when they tried to render CPR and first aid to DJ Henry as he lay in the gutter with 2 bullets in his chest dying.

             There has been no justice for DJ or these students and football team­mates who bravely tried to aid their friend DJ to save his life. DJ’s family, Brandon Cox who was the front seat passenger in DJ’s car and who was also shot, and the students who were brutalized and falsely arrested all filed Civil lawsuits to force justice for DJ.

             Now, DJ Henry’s shooter, defendant-Police Officer Aaron Hess and his attorney Brian Sokoloff is seeking to avoid any and all liability in the civil lawsuits filed against him by the individual college students who were beaten and brutalized by police officers in the wake of the shooting of their friend DJ, as they attempted to help their dying friend.

             Oral Arguments will be held in open Court on July 10, 2012.  The Plaintiffs-victims will appear, and will vigorously oppose this and all other at­tempts by the defendants in these lawsuits to escape liability.  These victims of police brutality, misconduct and cover-up deserve and need to be heard in court, and these serious allegations should not be dismissed without that op­portunity.
