In a court response filed Thursday, Hawley wrote that his office responded to all discovery obligations in good faith.
The lawsuit was filed by St. Louis wedding photographer Scott O’Rourke. He was arrested and charged after a political protest in 2012. He was later acquitted.
He sued St. Louis police, which at the time of the arrest was under state control.
