Judge OKs Suit Over Death of Teenager
The mother of Utah teenager who died while in state custody can pursue her lawsuit against several state agencies, a federal judge has ruled. U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball rejected arguments by the state that it was immune from the lawsuit because of a state incarceration immunity clause. The suit seeks damages from state of Utah, the Department of Human Services, the Division of Juvenile Justice Services, private provider Quest Youth Services and several individuals who operate or work for the company.
