Louisville Mother Loses Lawsuit Against Louisville Metro Police
Attorneys Will Driscoll and Davied Friedman recently tried a very interesting wrongful death case in federal court in Louisville, Kentucky against the Metro Police department. The basic facts of the case are that a young woman was murdered by her boyfriend following several abusive episodes. A warrant for his arrest was taken out; however, it was never served. Believe it or not, generally speaking, neither the fire department, EMS, 911, or the police have any affirmative duty to protect or rescue us. To state it another way, if one of these entities fails to protect or rescue us from another person, they can't be sued. Here is the Courier-Journal story.Regardless of the outcome of the suit, it does illustrate a real problem...domestic violence. It also higlights the flaws in our system. I congratulate Will and David in their success of bringing this issue to light.
