Wrongful DeathAn Argument For A Sandra Bland Wrongful Death Case

The family of Sandra Bland, the Illinois woman found hanging in a TexasiStock_000002990407_Large jail cell in July, filed a wrongful death lawsuit last week against a Texas trooper, a sheriff’s office and her jailers, accusing them of being responsible for the woman’s apparent suicide.

The suit, filed in a federal court in Houston, said officials violated Bland’s constitutional rights. The family is seeking financial compensation.

Bland, a 28-year-old African-American, was pulled over in her vehicle last month by a white state trooper for failing to signal a lane change in Prairie View, Texas.

When Bland’s body was discovered in her jail cell three days later in an apparent hanging, suspicions of racist treatment arose, further fueling criticism of policing amid a number of recent incidents involving the treatment of minorities by police across the country.
