Tamara Greene's attorney files appeal challenging case dismissal

Attorney Norman Yatooma says he is not giving up search for Detroit dancer's killer

DETROIT – Attorney Norman Yatooma says he's not giving up the search for Greene's killer even though the case was previously thrown out.

On Tuesday, Yatooma filed an appeal challenging a judge's decision to dismiss the case against the city of Detroit and former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

"Everything, for these young kids, as it relates to finding out what happened to mom, everything rides on this appeal," Yatooma said.

He said the evidence speaks for itself: Police were demoted or fired, computer files were destroyed and witnesses are terrified to testify. He calls it a cover up.

"What is undeniable, what even Kwame Kilpatrick can't deny, is the party investigation happened. in two days, after the fruits of that party investigation were leaked to Kwame Kilpatrick, tampering occurred," Yatooma said.

However, insiders say the appeal is a waste of time and the decision will not be overturned, pointing out that Kilpatrick has already been questioned and few new pieces of evidence will be revealed.
