CORRECTION: David Rose did not file - and could not have filed - a motion for qualified immunity. The doctrine of qualified immunity only applies to civil cases. Rose filed a motion for immunity under O.C.G.A. § 16-3-24.2, a Georgia law that provides immunity to anyone who uses force in accordance with certain specified statutes. His motion was denied. On April 27, 2018, former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Desmond Marrow made national headlines when a video of his December 2, 2017 arrest went viral. The video shows two Henry County police officers in a parking lot, lifting Desmond Marrow off of the ground and slamming the ex-NFL player to the pavement. Seconds later, an officer is seen choking Desmond Marrow until his body goes limp. Marrow was handcuffed the entire time. An internal affairs investigation found that both officers’ use of force was in compliance with department policy, but months later the Henry County Police Department received notice that one of the two officers had been recorded on his own dash camera saying, “I’m not gonna write it down, but hell yeah, I choked that mother****er.” A second investigation was launched, and this time departmental charges against Officer David Rose were sustained. Rose was fired and charged with simple battery. In late-March, 2019, Rose unexpectedly rejected a plea deal that would have resulted in twelve months probation, anger management classes, and the surrender of his law enforcement certification, instead entering a plea of not guilty. In late-April 2019, Desmond Marrow pleaded no contest to charges of reckless driving, aggressive driving, and obstructing a police officer. The other charges against him had all been dropped. On June 27, 2019, a grand jury indicted David Rose and issued a warrant for his arrest. The grand jury charged Rose with two counts of violating his oath of office, one count of making a false statement, and simple battery. Millions of people around the world have seen the viral video that put this case on the map, but only a handful have seen the rest of the evidence. Let’s change that.
