In Mastroianni v. County of Suffolk, 668 N.Y.S.2d 542 (N.Y. 1997)New York’s highest court found a requisite special relationship existed between police officers and a victim for liability. A Florida court found that sovereign immunity did not bar a wrongful death suit if an arrest was made.Keywords: Simpson v. City of Miami, 700 So.2d 87 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1997)
