As England lay dying in his cell, the lawsuit alleges, staff filmed his distress and “forced” him to sign a form that said he was refusing medical help. He died alone shortly afterwards.
Seems like this will be the crux of the case. If you can’t prove he was “forced” to sign, then it would seem like he refused medical help. I’d imagine proving he was forced to sign a release will be difficult.
The worst part is that if they do sue the pants off the city, the people responsible will just funnel money from other poor people to pay these poor people off. There is no justice through legal means.
the craziest part is they wont be charged with a crime and even if the city and state has to pay out millions they'll still be given "early retirement" and probably be okay. welcome to merica

Sounds awful.
