He’s trying to hold on to his job as top cop in DeKalb County, Georgia---which isn’t stopping Terrell Bolton form also pursuing his wrongful termination claim filed against the city of Dallas. But you know who is putting a stop to it? The Supreme Court of the United States of America, which today ruled that Bolton can’t reopen his case against the city for his 2003 firing.
Bolton’s attorneys have long claimed that former City Manager Ted Benavides didn’t follow proper procedure when ousting Bolton. He took the case all the way to D.C., where the Supremes said this morning, Thanks, but we are all good here.
Is it true one of the justices was heard muttering........loser.

Rock on my Chief O'Brien!
With his pending hearing in Dekalb County and his failure to pay property taxes in Dallas County, how does he afford all of this legal representation. I seriously doubt having an appeal filed to the Supreme Court was cheap. I just pray and hope Dekalb's Civil Service Board is nothing like Fulton County's where you can easily get your job back with BACK PAY for time you missed.
In a ray of hope, I asked a couple of lawyer friends who have followed Bolton's Dekalb case based off media reports and they admit the case is weak at best. If Dekalb loses, they can always appeal and he can still remain unemployed and off the payroll until the appeal is decided. My sources told me that Burrell and lawyers are no joke when it comes to arguing cases
Anon you are correct. Ellis has a law degree for good reason, and his pick for County Atty is a bad girl (in a good way). Tebo is in for the fight of his life. Even IF he wins the merit hearing, Dekalb can appeal to the Superior Court.
What a LOSER!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Does this sound familiar,
The Dallas Police Department under Terrell Bolton is burdened by terrible morale, spotty management and simmering resentments caused by mass demotions and some bizarre key hires, but those issues are seldom heard in public.
