Wiggins Childs' Client Featured in Washington Post Article About Unconstitutional Dog Attacks

The Washington Post recently wrote about a Wiggins Childs' client represented by Jon Goldfarb along with William Smith, Christina Malmat, and Lieselotte Carmen-Burks. The article examines numerous instances of police dogs attacking suspects captured on video in recent years, including one client, Ronald Fitts, represented by Wiggins Childs in a case alleging that officers of the Selma Police Department intentionally used excessive force in violation of the U.S. Constitution by siccing the dog on Mr. Fitts when he was not resisting. The video of the dog attack on Mr. Fitts was featured by the Post as part of a pattern of such attacks across the country.
