7-months pregnant Indiana woman viciously mauled by police dog, told attack did not violate constitutional rights
Mara Mancini was mauled by a K9 on the porch of her home in 2015, resulting in grievous injuries. Now, she's told no one will be held accountable for the attack.
A pregnant woman who filed a lawsuit against the Indianapolis Police Department after she was viciously attacked by a K-9 in 2015, saw the presiding judge rule in the police department's favor. The judge conceded the attack was "horrendous", but, did not violate the complainant's constitutional rights.
According to the Indy Star, Mara Mancini went up to the front porch of her home in the 300 block of North Addison Street in the city when she says she heard a commotion outside. As soon as she stepped outside, an IMPD K-9, Scooter, who had been pursuing a suspect who was fleeing through the neighborhood at the time, turned its attention to her instead.
