Heading: Carlton Hart’s Arrest

Text: After the four surviving witnesses identified Hart as one of the attackers, Mannina drafted a probable cause affidavit for his arrest in which she swore to the underlying facts. She met with prosecutor Denise Robinson to decide whether to move forward. Robinson and Mannina reviewed the affidavit and the accompanying case file. Robinson then met separately with Duane Miller, who confirmed that Hart was the man who shot him. After meeting with Mannina and Duane, Robinson concluded there was sufficient evidence to arrest Hart for his involvement in the home invasion. Robinson approved Mannina’s affidavit of probable cause, and the arrest warrant was sought and issued. Police arrested Hart on December 3, 6 No. 14-1347 2008. He was detained pending trial. Swavely was also arrested and charged, but he is not a part of this civil case.
