Lawyers representing former Rochester Police Chief La'Ron Singletary say they're prepared to prove the claims made by the former chief in a Notice of Claim filed earlier this month.
In that notice of his intent to sue the city, Singletary said he was told by Mayor Lovely Warren to lie and withold information about the death of Daniel Prude from a City Council Investigation. Singletary says he was fired when he refused to lie about when the mayor was first told about the Prude incident.
The city has dismissed the notice and the suit as untrue and "frivolous." Singletary's attorneys, Michael Tallon and Jon Getz, say they look forward to laying the evidence in front of a jury, which will decide by its verdict whether the case if "frivolous" or not.
