Chaunte Ott Files Suit Against City Of Milwaukee And Police Officers
Chaunte Ott has filed a lawsuit against the City of Milwaukee, two former police chiefs, and eight current or former detectives. Ott was convicted in 1995 of murdering 16 year-old Jessica Payne. Ott spent 13 years in prison before being released earlier this year. Just days ago, DNA evidence has linked Walter Ellis to the crime. The Milwaukee police department issued a statement stating: "MPD made the arrest after developing probable cause to believe Chaunte Ott was the perpetrator. A jury found the case proved beyond a reasonable doubt and found him guilty. Police acknowledge technology changed over the years, bringing more evidence to light." Ott is represented by Chicago attorney Jon Loevy from the law firm of Loevy & Loevy.
