In the latest Legal Lens podcast, Attorney Elizabeth Paige White walks us through her current case involving her client Mr. Nelson where an alleged traffic‑violation escalated into an excessive use‑of‑force incident.
As a civil rights and criminal defense lawyer, Paige has worked on cases that raise difficult questions about how and when excessive force by the police is used, how those decisions are reviewed, and what options are available afterward.
Our discussion touches on the doctrine of qualified immunity and how it can affect whether cases move forward and how accountability is pursued in the courts. Paige’s perspective highlights that behind every file are individuals, families, and communities who are trying to understand what happened and what recourse they may have.
🔍 When talking about excessive‑force cases, it is important to dive into how safety is defined, who is protected, and how the law is applied in everyday encounters between residents and law enforcement.
