Abstract:
After Cameron Leftwich committed suicide in the Dakota Co., Minn. Jail, his father brought a suit against a number of jail employees, the city of Eagan, and some police officers. The basic claim is a failure to provide adequate medical care.The district court granted summary judgement to all the defendants and in Leftwich v. County of Dakota, 2021 WL 3671277 (8th Cir.), that judgement is upheld, as we explain in this review.Keywords: Failure to Provide Adequate Care
