Case: Discrimination/Retaliation (W.D. Tenn.)

A Tennessee federal district court denied the Town of Brighton and other individuals’ motion to bifurcate the trial of a former police officer’s retaliation claims against them from his discrimination and retaliation claims against the City of Munford and associated individual parties, finding that bifurcation was unnecessary because there was minimal risk of juror confusion that could be addressed through jury instructions, and separate trials would be inefficient given the continuous narrative and overlapping evidence between the claims.
