The lawsuit has to do with a 2019 conviction over Moses registering to vote – charges of which were later dropped when a second trial was ordered.
Memphis activist and local Black Lives Matter founder Pamela Moses has filed a lawsuit over a conviction on charges of illegally registering to vote, which were eventually dropped in April 2022.
The suit names former Shelby County D.A. Amy Weirich, the State of Tennessee, and current Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy.
According to the lawsuit filed Oct. 21, 2022, Moses claimed she suffered from “false arrest and malicious prosecution” by the D.A.’s office, “in violation of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.”
