Williams’ lawsuit said prosecutors tried to coerce him into writing an apology to Stormer and an agreement not to sue.
SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio - A Summit County court appointed psychologist was attacked by a judge and then tackled by deputies for entering an employee entrance to the courthouse, according to a newly filedThe incident happened on September 15, 2020 when Dr. Curtis Williams was leading a mental health program in a courtyard outside the Summit County courthouse.
The lawsuit claimed Williams went through a side entrance of the courthouse to use the restroom when he was confronted by Judge Elinor Marsh Stormer. “I’m not going to speculate. I just think that maybe she just mistook him for a defendant or another member of the public or someone who was just not a courthouse employee that should have had to go around to the front door,” Williams’ attorney, Peter Pattakos said.She admitted in a police report that she put her hands on his chest as he said “you’re pushing me.
His lawsuit claimed there were five surrounding surveillance cameras that had the beatdown on tape, but the footage on four of them was apparently “destroyed.”“Early on in the holding cell, accusations were being stated that I assaulted Judge Stormer and I was defending myself saying ‘that’s not the case,’” Williams said.
“The legal system is not supposed to bargain with individuals for their freedom and so when I was being bargained with I couldn’t reconcile the idea of ‘I didn’t do anything wrong,’” Williams said. “So why am I being bargained with as it relates to my personal freedom and my dignity.”
