Notable cases

Tamara Greene case

Judge Rosen is the presiding judge in the lawsuit involving the death of slain stripper Tamara Greene. The family of the murdered stripper is suing the City of Detroit over wrongful death at a party held at the Manoogian Mansion. On January 15, 2010, the judge ordered the City of Detroit to hand over papers in regards to 911 tape requests and had concerns of Detroit city attorneys stalling on the case^[3].

On January 18, 2010, the judge ordered both the prosecution and defense attorneys involved in the case to resolve differences over evidence used in the case in private. The order states that if both parties have not agreed to resolve their differences by February 8, 2010, then both sides must meet in front of a magistrate judge on January 11, 2010 to settle outstanding disputes. The action comes after Judge Rosen's order to Michigan Attorney General's office to hand over evidence in the case^[4].

On January 25, 2010, Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox is expected to wrap up his deposition in the trial in spite of the delays. Attorneys representing the family of Tamara Greene wanted to delay the deposition to give Attorney General Cox more time to study documents^[5].
