Synopsis

In a story that first broke in February, Oregonian/Oregonlive reporter Maxine Bernstein detailed a case of overt racism that led to the wrongful arrest of a Black man named Michael Fesser in the wealthy Portland suburb of West Linn. Fesser sued the city, and got a $600,000 settlement. But the consequences for the officers involved — including the former West Linn police chief — are still unclear. We get an update on the case from Maxine Bernstein.
