Fairfax, Va. – The family of a Springfield, Virginia man shot and killed by Fairfax County Police will soon know more about the officer who pulled the trigger. The family of John Geer is suing the police department for wrongful death.

On Friday, the family’s attorney’s asked the judge to force the county to turn over all factual documents from two internal affairs investigations of Fairfax County Officer Adam Torres. Judge Randy Bellows gave the county until Feb. 20, 2015 to hand over the documents.

The first set of documents is from the police department’s ongoing probe of the August 2013 shooting. The department’s internal investigation started in September, after the family filed suit against Torres, the department and the chief of police.

“The only way to find out what happened is from the police department,” family attorney Ben DiMuro says.

The second set of documents is about a heated argument Torres got into with a deputy commonwealth’s attorney five months before the shooting. DiMuro says that outburst shows the officer had some anger issues in the past.

“It raises a reasonable suspicion that perhaps these issues carry forward into the future,” DiMuro says.

While Torres is being sued for wrongful death in civil court, the Department of Justice is still deciding whether he should face criminal charges. Torres has defended his actions in statements, saying Geer lowered his arms, and police knew there was a gun in the home. Several other officers and witnesses at the scene paint a different picture, saying Geer’s hands were at face level when he was shot.

The police department and county have been criticized for the time it has taken to investigate this case.

Jeff Stuart was Geer’s friend and was at the home when the shooting happened. He said the police need to be held accountable for their actions.

“The fact that we’re 17 months after this and we’re still fighting for information, is unacceptable,” Stuart says adding the Geer family is pleased by the judge’s ruling.

The case was filed by Geer’s partner, Maura Harrington.

so a spic cop shot a white guy who's wife was trying to get rid of him. very common in a facist country to happen.

where is any report of if his life was insured and if this "lady" widow has already gotten a large insurance payout and or settlement(s) ?

your reporting is along the communist line. guy dies by spic: the news is about whether gov can laugh in your face and give $13M of your money to "the cause" ($1M is billed by county for "handling the case") to people who have: already been paid

let's hear the other side of the story the dead man's side:

who had motive (a spic moving up in police authority and position, a wife who hates her husband and wants beach money and enough dough to get her kids out of the house , $12 million - all absolutely motives)

the obvious motive: money

the stated cause: greer stood/talked too long and police were "in a hurry"

in a hurry for what? to justify more spending at la courthouse perhaps ?

how much were these county workers paid already ?

how much will the county profit from the death trials ?

how much has the wife profited from the death ?

we know she's asking for $12 million more that's already a publicly advertised fact her lawyer entered that on a form and or advertised it, at la courthouse

-------------------------
when money matters i hate following WTOP news. because i know the news

the news is run by democrats who are only going to feed you the party line and show exuses for / legitimize money grabs. always you see only the county side of the story

and where theres a b8tch standing to make $12 million and the courts will also profit in the wake of a dead man - no one is to be trusted for any reasons and all are asking for profits off this death

The truth is the fact that FCPD will get away with 1st degree murder while Geer will still be killed to death.

What are the other limits of being killed, if not to death?

If you are that concerned about it why don't you form a posse, track down said police officer and said victims wife and hang them from the nearest tree. Otherwise, Shut The Fuck Up as complaining about it on FFXU is not going to do anything.
