The judge rejects BRPD, City Gazi from a civil claim related to the fatal police of 2023 – WBRZ

Baton Rouge – a judge chairing the civil claim associated with the death of Caroline Gil and Maggie Dunn, two teenagers killed when a police officer in Addis crashed into his car during a pursuit, said the city and BRPD is not responsible for The death of girls.

In Judge Brian Jackson’s decision, he said that although BRPD employees began the pursuit, they were not directly responsible for the crash.

“The court is reluctant to conclude that the causal chain is simply too weakened to hold the urban and parenchian responsible for the acts of an employee of another municipality,” the claim said in the claim.

Dun and Jill were in the car together when former Adis officer David Cutrone dropped red light and crashed in his car. BRPD officers began the pursuit that was moving from East Baton Rouge to West Batton Rouge.

Judge Jackson said a municipality cannot be liable for an employee of another municipality. Even with the dismissal of the city Paryanski, the civil claim continues.
