Heading: Officer Needham

Text: 41 Reasonover argues Officer Needham wrongfully pressured Hinton to testify in support of Jolliff's claim that Reasonover confessed while in jail. The district court found the only evidence on the issue demonstrates Officer Needham was not present during the interview of Hinton. We agree with this finding. The only evidence even suggesting Officer Needham was present is an MCS report stating Officer Needham, along with other officers, proceeded to the Prosecuting Attorney's office... where ... Goldman interviewed Marquita Butler [Hinton]. Goldman's notes of the interview do not mention Officer Needham's presence, and Officer Needham denies being present. Reasonover also argues Officer Needham acted in concert with Detective Eichelberger and Detective Tillman in feeding Jolliff information for her statement. Again, for the same reasons Reasonover did not show Detective Eichelberger and Detective Tillman fed Jolliff answers, Reasonover has not shown Officer Needham fed Jolliff answers. We therefore affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment to Officer Needham.
