The Plaintiff, Keith Robert Doherty, has filed a civil-rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, asserting excessive-force claims against the two Defendants, Deputy Mark Borrow and Sergeant Mark Phillips. Doherty avers that, on August 30, 2023, Burrow grabbed him by the throat and slammed him against a wall. Two months later, both Burrow and Phillips allegedly crushed Doherty’s fingers and fractured his left hand and wrist before slamming Doherty onto a concrete floor. Doherty says he was compliant, and he maintains that the Defendants manipulated surveillance cameras to hide their use of force. Because of the Defendants’ actions, Doherty has suffered severe pain and emotional distress, and he is seeking damages. Discovery has closed. The deadline to file pre-trial motions is February 3, 2025, and trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025. If interested, please email FLSD_ProBono@flsd.uscourts.gov
