There is one case in this area I'm aware of (nmbl) - Brian Jul 23, 13:22
Speaking only to this case, causation would be a massive hurdle. -- nm - ML Jul 23, 12:36 2
- If she during the booking interview that she was suicidal, it seems kind of negligent to put a trash bag in the cell, and not do the visual checks - mara Jul 23, 12:47 1
  - depends on which form you believe. sounds like there are 3 different ones floating around and in 1 she seems fine and in another suicidal -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 13:02
One of those Facebook bullying cases maybe? -- nm - jangles Jul 23, 12:31 2
- Yes or in this case where a false arrest would cause a rebound of depression which then causes suicide. - Inigo Jul 23, 12:38 1
  - BTW, the above scenario would totally be on Ally McBeal. -- nm - Inigo Jul 23, 13:00
