Kenosha police officer who published memoir about killing Michael Bell Jr. gets sued for defamation by Bell's father
A Kenosha police officer who shot and killed Michael Bell Jr. 16 years ago published a memoir about the incident this year, and now he's being sued for libel by Bell's father.
Michael Bell, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, has never accepted Kenosha's version of how his son was killed. In 2010, he won a $1.75 million settlement in a federal wrongful death suit, got Wisconsin to require outside agencies investigate in custody deaths and has never stopped calling for a new investigation into his son's death.
