ANDREW SHIRVELL
(Michael Anthony Cox)
Kelly Armstrong was a gay man who had committed no crime yet the Assistant Attorney General was following him about, going to his home and accusing him of promoting a “deviant” life style. Shirvell was fired from his job for violation of rules of behavior for law enforcement officers. Armstrong sued Shirvell for violating Michigan’s anti-stalking law. He agreed to drop the suit if Shirvell would apologize and stop stalking him. Shirvell refused. Then a Michigan jury awarded Armstrong $4.5 million in 2012.
