How later courts describe this case

  • collateral estoppel should not be applied to officers because officers not in control of criminal proceeding, and had no personal interest in outcome, thus officers not in privity with the state
  • “The defendants were city police officers not directly employed by the state; they had no control whatsoever over the criminal proceeding and no direct individual personal interest in its outcome.”
