No one on the court ap - peared willing to affirm an appeals court ruling allow- ing a civil lawsuit by the driv- er's daughter to proceed against six West Memphis, Ark., police officers. They fatally shot driver Donald Rickard and passen- ger Kelly Allen in 2004 in a chaotic scene on a Memphis street following a chase that began across the Mississippi River in Arkansas. A police officer pulled over Rickard's white Honda because a head - light was out. Rickard sped away when the officer asked him to get out of the car. The lawsuit says police used excessive force. But several justices said the of - ficers may not have done anything wrong or at least should be shielded from li- ability. The justices don't often question the facts that un- derlie the lower court rul- ings that are at issue before them. But for the second time in recent years, police video of a car chase seemed to make at least some justices more willing to do their own fact- finding. Police fired 15 shots into Rickard's car, of which 12 came after Rickard managed to begin driving away from officers who had surrounded the vehicle. "I mean, when I look at the film, I thought well, sure, he's going back to the highway. You say we want to show that the policeman knew he wasn't. I didn't see any evi - dence showing that," Justice Stephen Breyer told Gary Smith, the lawyer for Rick- ard's daughter. The video involved in the case was not shown in the courtroom on Tuesday, but justices had seen it as part of filings with the court. In 2007, the court voted in a case from Georgia that police may use tactics that put flee - ing suspects at risk of death in order to end high-speed car chases. In that case, Jus- tice Antonin Scalia chas- tised an appeals court panel for its ruling in favor of the driver, who was paralyzed af- ter police bumped his car and forced it off the road. The driv- er's "version of events is so ut- terly discredited by the record that no reasonable jury could have believed him. The Court of Appeals should not have re- lied on such visible fiction; it should have viewed the facts in the light depicted by the videotape," Scalia said. On that court, only Justice John Paul Stevens, then 87 and the longest-serving jus - tice, said he wasn't especially frightened by the chase and would have sided with the driver. Scalia, 77, is now in Ste - vens' place as the longest- serving member of the court, and he left no doubt Tuesday about his view of Rickard's actions. "This guy has been driving on the highway at 100 miles an hour, swerving into and away from police cars," Scalia said.
