| | Devin Brown’s mother files claim against L.A. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | LOS ANGELES (NNPA) - The mother of 13-year-old Devin Brown, who was shot and killed by an LAPD officer recently, has filed a claim against the city seeking unspecified damages and more police reforms, her attorney announced. |
 | | Brown’s mother, who fought to hold back tears, refused to comment during the press conference, where she was supported by family, clergy and community activists who all claimed a small victory several weeks ago when the Police Commission approved a change in LAPD policy regarding shooting into moving vehicles. |
 | | Lomax said Brown’s age and lack of a criminal record will definitely affect prospective jurors, that is if a lawsuit is filed and goes to trial, something that is rare in these cases. |
