Re: IN: Woman kills officer's attacker, now getting sued
Don't you wish that the rest of the Republican led State legislatures would take similar measures? We know that no Blue State government is ever going to move to protect the rights of citizens.. It is awesome that the attorney fees were assessed against the plaintiff.

Insurance companies are notoriously stingy about when they will spend money and will look for any excuse to not pay up when it is for someone else. I hope you're only out the cost of your premium.Grundy1133 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 9:51 pm well i purchased it a few weeks ago just to be safe. the way i figure it, if i ever do have to use my gun for self defense, I'm going to court regardless and legal fees would cost more than i care to afford. im not exactly well off... so for me its a good investment

Re: IN: Woman kills officer's attacker, now getting sued
I know little about civil trials. I served on one civil jury where a woman was suiting a super market (deep pockets) for an injury sustained on their property. She got nothing because there was not a shred of negligence evidence ever presented.
So I have to wonder about this case. Exactly how and from whom are the plaintiff's looking to get paid? With the supermarket, I'm assuming that there was an insurance company or a self-insurance arrangement. If the defendant/police defender needs a go-fund-me setup to help pay for legal expenses, I wouldn't expect deep enough pockets for any kind of large settlement.
The lawsuit could be the deceased criminal's family's way to trying to restore their "good name." Why would a lawyer take such a case and, perhaps more importantly, who would be funding it? I'm sure that lawyers take cases on contingency but I would expect that there was some reasonable chance of success and source of funds when the success is achieved.
I don't get it.
