Family of slain LA teen sue county, sheriff
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Relatives of a high school football player who was murdered, allegedly by an illegal immigrant, have sued Los Angeles County for wrongful death.
The parents and brother of Jamiel Shaw filed the lawsuit Friday, seeking unspecified damages.
They say the county and sheriff’s department were negligent and violated immigration laws and their civil rights by allowing the alleged killer, Pedro Espinoza, out of jail.
He had been in custody on weapons charges and was released a day before the March 2, 2008, killing.
The suspected gang member has pleaded not guilty to murder.
Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore declined to comment on the lawsuit’s specifics but says he’s pleased the full story will be told.

Stop the Killer Cop Awards

STOP THE KILLER COP AWARDS!!
NO TROPHYS FOR KILLING BABY SUSIE & RAUL PENA!!
Kodak Theater
Hollywood & Vine
Thursday May 28
10:30am
At its most prestigous ceremony the LAPD will
be awarding its highest honor, the Medal of
Valor, earned by cops who have “distinguished
themselves by conspicuous bravery or heroism
above and beyond,” to 10 of the SWAT officers
involved in their 2005 assault on Sr. Pena’s auto
shop on Avalon & 104. $25k sponsors a table by
the mayor. ($65 to get in lapolicefoundation.org)
Mayor Villaraigosa attended the funeral promising
to “uncover every fact,” but there is no report
& the family’s lawsuit is on a shelf while
Bratton seeks a coroner to deny his shooters’
bullets killed 18 month old Susie.
The Police Commissioners, appointed by the
mayor, voted to approve the awards.
Since Rampart, LAPD is under Federal Consent
Decree jurisdiction to the U.S. Dept of Justice &
Atty Genl Eric Holder, ducking a Justice Dept
lawsuit for the "pattern and practice" of civil
rights violations by LAPD officers.
In May 2006, U.S. District Judge Gary Feess extended
the consent decree for another three
years because all the requirements had not
been met...
