Ratlieff said Newman told her that he had previously worked with the officer who shot her in the face. She said Newman told her the officer was a good guy and didn't hurt her intentionally, according to reports. “We need systems in place in every police department which ensure unbiased investigations which follow the facts and pursue justice,” Ratlieff said.
