[Peace-discuss] [Announce] And the FOP's response to Norbits'suspension

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Thanks, Barbara. Yes, I had heard that the Carringtons are pursuing a civil suit (which Brian informed us has been filed),  but I didn't and still do not know whether they (or anyone) is pursuing a criminal suit beyond the county level.What time are the HRC and CUPJ meetings? Are they both at the IMC? --Jenifer

Jenifer and interested others,          Just a reminder that of the difference between a civil suit and a criminal suit. 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.
         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). 
Come to the CUCPJ forum on Thursday, MAy 6, at the IMC. More on that soon. Barbara Kessel

Sorry, Brian. It's an emotional topic and therefore especially hard to remember to forward to Peace-discuss instead of just hitting Reply all as per usual. Will try harder to remember. 
Thanks for the update, tho' I think we heard about that a while back. Hard to be patient w/ so much at stake. To be continued... --Jenifer

Again - would folks on the
 peace list please refrain from sending my emails to all of my email contacts and keep them on peace discuss only.

Yes, James Montomery, Jr., has filed a wrongful death civil suit in the county courthouse.
