Morris v. George
Petition for certiorari denied on June 2, 2014.
Issue
Whether the court of appeals was correct when it held that it was "categorically precluded" from reviewing the record as a whole to determine whether plaintiff"s version of events, which the district court held sufficient to defeat qualified immunity, was blatantly contradicted by the record such that no reasonable jury could believe it; and (2) whether, if the court of appeals was required to review the record as whole to determine whether plaintiff"s version of events was blatantly contradicted by the record such that the defendant deputies were entitled to qualified immunity, a video or audio recording (such as in Scott v. Harris) is the only evidence that is sufficient to overcome conflicting version of events.
