Jury awards $1 million to family of Chicago woman who died in cell

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

The Chicago Police Department’s practice of denying arrestees medical treatment for up to 48 hours is unconstitutional, according to a federal jury which Monday awarded $1 million in damages to the family of a seriously ill woman who died in police custody.

Lawyers for the family of May Molina hailed the verdict as a landmark ruling that will force the City of Chicago to change the way it handles suspects who are held for up to two days in police cells.

Death by government. Progressive, Blue, one party Democrat rule, pro-gun control, hatred of religious people, crappy public schools, sky high sales taxes and property taxes: denying medical care.
