Liuzzo v. United States

Liuzzo v. United States

Historic lawsuit charging the federal government with responsibility for the death of civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo during the Freedom Rides in Selma, Alabama.

We filed and later tried Liuzzo v. United States, a lawsuit charging the federal government with responsibility for the death of civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo during the Freedom Rides in Selma, Alabama.  The trial team proved that Ku Klux Klan member Gary Thomas Rowe participated in Liuzzo’s murder as a paid undercover informant for the FBI.  The district court held, however, that the government was not liable.
