In a Tallahassee case, the Florida Supreme Court will decide whether police are victims when they shoot someone in the line of duty

On Wednesday, the Florida Supreme Court will consider whether the identities of officers who kill civilians should be protected under Marsy’s Law. The law is intended to protect the identities of crime victims. Supporters argue that officers involved in fatal shootings may face imminent threat of harm themselves. The case stems from two Tallahassee police officers who shot and killed suspects and want their names shielded.
