Parents of U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Omaha bar owner Jake Gardner have filed a lawsuit against a Douglas County attorney and the special prosecutor who branded their son racist before Gardner committed suicide.
Gardner fatally shot an anti-police rioter, 22-year-old James Scurlock, during a struggle outside of his bar last May.
Gardner was initially cleared of all charges after it was determined that he acted in self-defense. However, following unrest largely because of the races of Scurlock, who is black, and Gardner, who is white, the DA appointed special prosecutor Fred Franklin and a grand jury, hoping “it would restore public faith in the justice system,” NPR reported.

Lawsuit was doomed before the ink dried. The "system" will NEVER allow one of it's own to be held accountable. If they did then EVERYONE working in that system would face the chance of being held liable for their actions. Suit will probably be dismissed outright.....most likely citing the bullshit of "qualified immunity".

ReplyDeleteLong way to go on that one.

Three dope-fiends assaulted me and my neighbor lady, destroyed thousands in equipment, put our farm out of business for twelve days.
Prosecutors are determining if the series of crimes "...meets the threshold...".
The threshold of what charge?
