Woman wrongly charged in officer’s traffic death set to sue Phoenix

The woman, who multiple judges found was wrongly charged with negligent homicide for the traffic death of Officer Paul Rutherford, is set to sue the City of Phoenix for malicious prosecution. Nubia Rodriguez filed an official notice of claim on March 15, a week ahead of the four-year anniversary of the accident. On March 21, 2019, Rodriguez hit Rutherford in the two-way turn lane on Indian School Road near 75th Avenue. Rutherford, who wasn’t wearing a safety vest, was working a traffic accident when he suddenly ran into traffic without looking both ways.

The worst part is that there are no consequences for the cops & prosecutor who falsely charged her. They tried to ruin this woman's life but nothing happens to them when they get caught.

Not the prosecutor, they charge based on evidence. The police “collect” or frame up the evidence and submit it to the courts. The police set her up because they didn’t like her attitude.

Things need to change with CPS, also. Did you know that Levoy Finchem, who committed federal felony crimes at both Bundy Ranch and at the Oregon Bird Sanctuary was under federal investigation before the feds killed him? And he made his living off of being a foster parent for 20 kids at a time, and his wife was involved by supporting and benefitting from his psychosis. But even after the Bundy Ranch Standoff, CPS still allowed those foster kids to remain under his care, and with his wife after he was killed. Their only reasons for fostering was so neither had to work, and to indoctrinate vulnerable children. That's dangerous, and I bet his wife is still fostering. CPS workers lack the same moral compass as the police, and they sleep in the same bed.

We spun over to the left and the cruiser careened off to it’s right and into a telephone pole on the corner. No lights, no siren…no headlights! They tried to say the light was green, but all three of us were adamant that that was wrong. They didn’t give her a ticket, but later sent her a bill for the damage. Her lawyer had to go to court and get them to admit it was the cops fault. They never rescinded the demand letter, but never took any more action. Lying trash. Now this.

As a former foster child I have to say, it's your dream as a foster child that someone will want to keep you and be your mom, for most of us this never becomes a reality, and for a false accusation and trumped up charge to take that away from a child, there has to be consequences. I haven't cried in a long time, this brought tears. I hope this family can find the child they were adopting and get her back.

He rounded a curve just as another driver was pulling out from a stop sign. The cop avoided a collision by swerving off the road. He hit a tree and was killed. He was not wearing a seatbelt (this fact was covered up in the investigation). Likely, if he were wearing his seatbelt he would have walked away from the accident. The other driver was charged and convicted. He never had a chance because they were determined that someone else would be found at fault for the accident. They ruined that poor guy's life.
