Deputy Killers familys sues and wants an apology

[SA Friday]

Be careful what you ask for. The right to file civil suits is a constitutional right. We already have enough encroachment in that department. Picking and choosing what to encroach and what to not encroach in that document is Russian roullette. Let the system work in this case.

Two words: Summary Judgment

If the judge decides that one party doesn't have enough evidence, he can throw everything away.

Edit: I highly doubt that they are going to find an impartial jury pool anywhere in the metro area. I think a change of venue is likely to find people less...emotionally charged. Thankfully, the facts speak for themselves: the guy could have just stopped, didn't have to lead chase @ 100mph, didn't have to fight, damn sure didn't have to shoot. If someone takes all of those actions and the end result is death, they should expect nothing from anyone...THEY are (were) the problem.

I, too, am willing to put up with some bs that will get thrown out to make sure our constitutional rights are in place
