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. The wrongful death accusations are over the Detroit Police botching police records in an attempt to not hold the alleged killers accountable[3].
Judge Rosen issued a order to the City of Detroit on January 15, 2010, to hand over papers in regards to 911 tape requests. Rosen also expressed concerns of Detroit city attorneys stalling its progress on the case[4].
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 came after Judge Rosen's order to the Michigan Attorney General's office to hand over evidence in the case[5].
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox wanted to wrap up his deposition on January 25, 2010 in spite of the delays in the case's progress. Attorneys representing the family of Tamara Greene wanted to delay the deposition to give Attorney General Cox more time to study documents related to the trial[6].
Judge Rosen ruled on March 3, 2010 that eight former and current Detroit Police Officers can review the official police files in regards to the murder of Tamara Greene[3]. Attorneys both representing the family of Tamara Greene and the Detroit Police wanted the police officers to review the files to make sure there was no information missing[3].
