Jennifer and interested others, <div> Just a reminder that of the difference between a civil suit and a criminal suit. </div><div>What Norbitz (and Finney) did or did not do is relevant to "wrongful death," but it only results in money to those who bring the suit, not to punishment of anyone. That would require a revised finding by the States Attorney who has already declared it an "accident," not involving "negligence." Or a higher authority than the county, bringing some person(s) to court on criminal charges. That is my latest understanding at least and I am happy to be corrected, if that is not accurate.</div>
<div> However, we are not just "waiting." There has been much research and work on the public policies that inform this entire situation of the "police culture." Stay tuned or come to the Champaign City Council (Tuesday nights) and the Human Relations Commission (evening of MAy 3). </div>
<div>Come to the CUCPJ forum on Thursday, MAy 6, at the IMC. More on that soon. </div><div>Barbara Kessel <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 12:04 PM, Jenifer Cartwright <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jencart13@yahoo.com">jencart13@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
