Lawsuit Re-Filed
This is going to be dragged out in the hope the City settles:
The family of Adam Toledo filed a fresh lawsuit this week against the city of Chicago and the police officer who fatally shot the 13-year-old boy.
The case was filed a month after the family abruptly dropped another lawsuit filed in Cook County court, just days before opening arguments were set to begin. Now, the legal process will begin again in federal court, over five years after Toledo was killed.
In the previous trial prep, the scumbag lawyers threatened to have a hundred witnesses to testify - for something exactly ZERO of them actually witnessed - all in the hope of an offer from the City to go away.
The trouble was the existence of body camera footage, a stop watch, a working ShotSpotter system and the criminal record of "lil' homicide" being part of the official transcripts would severely reduce any sympathy a jury might have.

Adam Toledo was a problematic teen. He had been away from home for weeks, living on the street and the family never gave a damn.
28 USC 1658 "Except as otherwise provided by law, a civil action arising under an Act of Congress enacted after the date of the enactment of this section may not be commenced later than 4 years after the cause of action accrues." Can this BS case survive summary dismissal?
I hope the officer has a counter suit going against the mother due to her lack of control over her pistol toting gang banging son.
