The lawsuit was filed on the behalf of McBride’s estate Tuesday and the first status conference is scheduled for Nov. 18.

The wrongful death lawsuit is seeking nearly $10 million in damages, the Detroit News reports.

A jury on Aug.7 found Wafer guilty of second-degree murder, manslaughter and felonious use of a firearm stemming from the death of McBride.

Wafer, who claimed self defense, unlocked and opened his door, then shot McBride in the head with a shotgun from a few feet away on Nov. 2.

Wafer said McBride was violently pounding on his front and side doors, that he feared for his life but never meant to shoot her and didn’t believe the gun was loaded.

He’d hoped only to scare away whom he believed to be multiple people trying to break into his Dearborn Heights home.

Wafer now faces up to life in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 3.

A lawsuit filed Thursday on behalf of a juvenile inmate alleges he suffered permanent injuries from the combination of a physical attack and use of force by correctional officers while housed at the Nevada Youth Training Center in Elko.

The complaint was filed in Clark County District Court by Al Lasso, a personal injury attorney in Las Vegas. The plaintiff, Daniel Vargas, who was transferred to the Northern Nevada facility in October, lost eyesight after he alleges officers attacked him and hogtied him in November, securing his limbs together behind his back.

“We don’t want any other child to go through what Daniel and other children up there have had to go through,” Lasso said, who added his client was not doing interviews.

Last month, Family Court Judge William Voy ordered 12 Clark County youth to be returned to his jurisdiction after reports that youth were being “hobbled” at the Elko facility. The lawsuit claims Vargas was one of those inmates.

Hobbling is defined as using a 2-foot-chain to connect the wrist restraint to the ankle restraint, preventing the person from standing upright, according to state officials.

The complaint alleges that at the end of November, Vargas woke up in accordance with facility policy and went to the bathroom to wash his hands and brush his teeth.

But because Vargas desperately needed to use the restroom and proceeded to the stall before brushing his teeth, officers attacked…

Myreico Broaden, 37, was arrested last week on charges of attempting to elude and possession of a controlled substance.

Defense attorney Julian McPhillips said he believes that what triggered the arrest was that Broaden’s suit against the city was amended to identify two police officers by name.

“It is just blatant and obvious retaliation,” McPhillips said.

Broaden has filed a motion to dismiss the criminal charges against him that argues that the arrest violates Broaden’s right to free speech and access to courts.

Martha Earnhardt, spokeswoman for the Montgomery Department of Public Safety, said the warrants against Broaden were signed Jan. 30 and were served Aug. 5 but added that she could provide no other information because of the pending litigation.

Broaden sued the city in March, claiming his leg was injured and that he was subject to racial epithets after a Montgomery Police Department cruiser ran over him without provocation Jan. 30.

On July 24, the names of police officers Perry Bullard and Eric Skipper were added to the lawsuit.

The city filed an answer to the complaint July…

Det. Ernest L. Allen Sr. was killed May 9 when an out-of-control concrete truck barreled downhill on Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills and slammed head-on into Allen’s pick-up truck, which was northbound on the winding, sloping road.

The collision marked the fourth major crash on the road in less than a year and the second one to kill a Los Angeles Police Department officer. On March 7, Officer Nicholas Lee was killed near the same stretch of Loma Vista by an out-of-control truck that was in the area for construction.

The May 9 collision is still under investigation, but Beverly Hills police investigators say it appears the truck’s brakes failed — the same issue that appears to have been involved in Lee’s crash.

In the lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Allen’s mother and two children assign responsibility for his death to the truck’s driver for failing to maintain his vehicle; the company he worked for, Over & Over Ready Mix, for hiring him; and Beverly Hills and Los Angeles for designing the road and failing to keep it safe.

After Allen’s death, the city placed a 30-day…

James and Kimberly Mathes Shepack filed suit against College Student Movers Inc., Fast & Affordable College Student Movers, their insurer and Shelly and Justin McDuffie in the 24th Judicial District Court on July 1.

The Shepacks claim they hired College Student Movers  to move their possessions from their home located at St. Tammany Parish to house located at 1601 Concord Ave. in Metairie and that the move was to be completed and done by Dec. 27, 2013. The plaintiffs assert that under the term of their agreement with the defendant company they were to have three able bodied movers assist in moving their belongings for which they would be charged $98 per hour per mover. The Shepacks contend on the day of the move two men and a female showed up at their home.

The plaintiffs allege the two men began to move fragile furniture along with an assortment of items and all of the heavy items with a dolly and hand trucks while the female mover occasionally moved a piece. Shortly after the three workers arrived the Shepacks assert they called the defendant company’s office to complain about one of the movers who was cursing and using abusive language and along with the slow pace at which the move was proceeding and later called to complain about not having three men on the job as contracted.

A one-million dollar wrongful death lawsuit has now been filed, after an 8-year-old boy drowned in Lake Conroe.

Attorneys for the family of Andrew Orvis filed the suit Thursday against Silverleaf Resorts, the company that operates Piney Shore Resort.

Orvis was at the resort earlier this month, sitting on the dock and sticking his feet in the water when he fell in. Investigators say there’s evidence he may have been shocked.

A recent investigation by the city of Conroe found electrical wiring on the dock was exposed, creating a danger on the dock and in the water.
