UT Southwestern officers named in man's death at Dallas hospital

Brandon Ledbetter, Anaid Vera, Barry Secrest and Donald McKenzie 

Four UT Southwestern Medical Center police officers were identified in court filings this week as those accused in the death of Kenneth Knotts, who become unresponsive as he was restrained during a mental health crisis in November 2022.

Brandon Ledbetter, Anaid Vejar, Barry Secrest and Donald McKenzie face allegations in the family’s federal civil lawsuit that the officers recklessly used excessive force and killed Knotts at UT Southwestern in Dallas on Nov. 29, 2022.

The lawsuit, originally filed last year, was amended this week to include the officers’ names and details from body-camera footage obtained earlier this month.

Geoff Henley, the attorney representing Knotts’ family, also released more body-camera footage that he says shows the officers begin to come up with their version of events after Knotts’ death.

MR. GEOFFREY JUSTIN HENLEY Eligible to Practice in Texas Henley & Henley, P.C. Bar Card Number: 00798253

“The family has been fighting for more than a year just to find out how their son was killed and who did it,” Henley said in a news release. “Now, we know and can pursue these officers and attempt to get justice. Before, they were just unknown John Does.”

Vejar immediately ended a phone call when reached for comment Wednesday.

The other officers could not immediately be reached.

UT Southwestern and the Texas Attorney General’s Office — which is listed as representing the defendants — did not respond to requests for comment.

Knotts, 41, died in UT Southwestern police custody after he was brought to the Dallas hospital for a mental health evaluation.

Body-camera footage obtained by the family’s attorney — which UT Southwestern would not release when asked multiple times by The Dallas Morning News — shows he was handcuffed and yelled for water and screamed he couldn’t breathe as officers pushed him into a hospital bed.

He screeched and appeared to fidget under the officers for several moments, then became unresponsive.

The News first reported Knotts’ death last year after spending months trying to piece together the death of a man in hospital police custody.

His death was ruled a homicide in the autopsy report.

Medical examiners said he died of sudden cardiac arrest after law enforcement physically restrained him in a “semi-prone position.”

A Dallas County grand jury declined in November to indict the officers involved.

The amended lawsuit, which seeks unspecified actual and punitive damages, alleged the officers killed Knotts in about four minutes and 53 seconds after he was handcuffed and sandwiched by the officers against a hospital bed.

The officers then gave false statements to investigators by saying they did nothing to impede Knotts’ breathing and that he was conscious and alert during their interaction with him, the lawsuit stated.

Body-camera footage shows Knotts was held down on the hospital bed by officers for several moments as he lay on his stomach with handcuffed arms.

He appeared to yell out in pain, then stilled.

All except one officer — Ledbetter, according to the amended lawsuit — then released Knotts, who hung off the bed limp.

At least seven members of medical staff stood around him watching the officers.

Knotts remained motionless, face down on the bed, as medical staff discussed whether to remove the restraints.

“Lift him over!” one woman yelled, sounding urgent.

Someone called out moments later that he had no pulse.

Released body-worn camera footage shows UT Southwestern Medical Center police restrain Knotts before his death in hospital police custody Nov. 29, 2022.

Henley said the footage shows Knotts’ breathing was labored and that he screamed so loudly about his inability to breathe that a nurse came into the room.

The lawsuit includes a screenshot of medical records, which the filings say are from a nurse who said she heard Knotts yell, “I can’t breathe!” and went into the room to ensure his safety.

Ledbetter and other officers — except for Vejar — told investigators that Knotts never showed signs of difficulty breathing, the lawsuit said.

They asserted they “never witnessed another officer do anything that would interfere with Kenneth’s breathing,” according to the lawsuit.

“The footage undermines what the defendants told others,” Henley said in the news release. “We see onscreen how Kenneth becomes unresponsive — rather than alert and awake.”

The autopsy report said Knotts had THC, which is found in marijuana, in his system.

He also had Narcan, a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose.

He did not have any opioids in his system, according to the report.

He was 5-5 and 212 pounds.

Newly obtained body-camera footage released by Henley shows a man, who appears to be a police employee, walk through the hospital.

The footage is from after Knotts lost his pulse, according to the lawsuit, which notes Vejar was visibly agitated and Ledbetter was “more nonchalant.”

In the footage, the man recording enters a UTSW police department room, where a female — identified in the lawsuit as a sergeant — and a male officer are leaning against the walls.

The male officer is on the phone.

Two other officers sit in chairs facing them.

The man recording mumbles to the sergeant.

She looks at him and says, “But he had a pulse.”

“They’re doing checks,” the man appears to reply.

“OK, you two, go,” the sergeant says to the two seated officers. Related: A man died in Dallas 10 months ago in hospital police custody. It’s now ruled a homicide

“We’re figuring out where we’re going,” one of the seated officers replies, and gestures to the officer on the phone.

The seated male officer talks about trying to get a report from a paramedic, and the sergeant says, “I wouldn’t worry about it right now.”

“If you get a chance, and later on —”

“Ain’t gonna happen,” the woman appears to reply.

“Vejar!” someone in the group yells as one of the two seated officers leaves the room.

“Is she OK?” The man recording asks the sergeant.

“No,” the sergeant says, and shuts the door.

“What’s wrong?” the man recording asks.

The sergeant opens her mouth, then shuts it as she looks down at his body-camera. She appears to squint down at the camera, then looks up at the man.

“What?” the man asks softly.

Related:Family of man who died in UT Southwestern police custody rallies outside Dallas hospital

She looks back down at the camera and raises her eyebrows, then looks up at him.

The man sighs and turns off his camera, ending the clip.

That footage shows the officers “began working on their story,” the amended lawsuit alleged.

Henley related the case to other deaths in police custody, including Tony Timpa, a 32-year-old who died in 2016 as a Dallas officer knelt on his back during a mental health crisis.

Henley represented Timpa’s family in a lawsuit against the officers involved.

Earlier this year, Dallas approved a $2.5 million settlement in the case, which also went to trial in September.

“Like George Floyd, Tony Timpa and victims of crowd crush, Kenneth Knotts could not breathe,” Henley said. “We all need air, and these officers took Kenneth’s.”

[ad_1] The Florida Senate handed amendments to the Stay Native Act, that are anticipated to be authorized by the Home subsequent. Let's break them down. Stay Native, signed into regulation by Gov. Ron DeSantis final 12 months, created higher zoning incentives for builders that put aside housing for folks making as much as 120 % of the realm median earnings, and allotted a whole bunch of tens of millions of dollars for reasonably priced housing. Senate Invoice 328 and the matching Home Invoice 1239 make clear the state's preemption of native zoning legal guidelines, most constructing heights and tax exemptions. If and when the payments develop into regulation, attorneys anticipate that extra builders will file purposes for reasonably priced, workforce and mixed-income housing initiatives. The laws creates peak protections for single-family neighborhoods, and eliminates parking necessities for some transit-oriented initiatives filed below Stay Native, based on legal professional Anthony De Yurre's evaluation. De Yurre, a companion at Bilzin Sumberg, tells me that the parking necessities are “the most important problem to workforce housing.” Necessities can be lowered by 20 % if a Stay Native mission is inside half a mile of a significant transportation hub and parking exists inside 600 ft. If the mission is inside a transit-oriented improvement space, the necessities can be eradicated. The newest variations of the payments make clear that properties zoned for industrial initiatives qualify for Stay Native incentives. When proposed in January, the laws, sponsored by Sen. Alexis Calatayud and Rep. Vicki Lopez, sought to exclude industrial websites. The unique amendments additionally sought to cap heights of Stay Native initiatives as much as the peak of present buildings inside 1 / 4 mile, however that was nixed. The gap used might be as much as 1 mile, except for websites abutting single-family zoning. The payments require native municipalities to keep up tips for administrative approval on their web sites. Some municipalities have sought methods across the laws as a result of it supersedes native zoning and peak restrictions. When it comes to clarifying, the payments add a preemption that ground space ratio, often known as the scale of a mission in relation to the location, might be as much as 150 % of the ground space ratio in that metropolis and county. Municipalities would even be blocked from proscribing unit density to the utmost of what's at the moment allowed in that metropolis and county. De Yurre, who's working with shoppers on Stay Native initiatives starting from 80 items to 2,000 items, mentioned the Home might vote on the invoice inside a few weeks. Then he would head to the governor for his signature.

The Ins and Outs of Wrongful Termination: Know Your Rights

Being terminated from employment can be an emotionally and financially distressing experience. However, when a termination is unjustified and violates your legal rights as an employee or violates public policy, it becomes what is known as "wrongful termination."

What Constitutes Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired illegally .. While "at-will" employment allows employers to terminate employees for any reason not protected by law, certain grounds for termination are regarded as wrongful and unlawful. These include termination based on discrimination, retaliation, some instances of breach of contract, or the violation of public policy. In order to under whether a termination violates public policy you should contact a wrongful termination attorney. There are many such attorneys located in San Francisco or Oakland.

Discrimination:

Under federal and state laws, it is illegal for an employer to fire employees based on factors such as race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, disability, or age. Employers are also prohibited from terminating employees due to their association with or support of any of these protected classes. If you believe you were fired due to discrimination, consult an employment attorney to explore your options.

Retaliation:

An employer cannot terminate an employee in retaliation for engaging in protected activities such as filing a complaint about workplace discrimination, reporting illegal activities, or taking legally allowed leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If you experience retaliation after engaging in any protected activity, you might have a strong case for wrongful termination and should seek an evaluation from an experienced employment attorney.

Violation of Public Policy:

A wrongful termination claim can also arise when an employer fires an employee for refusing to commit an illegal act, exercising a statutory right or privilege, or reporting illegal or unethical activities within the workplace.

Your Legal Options:

If you suspect that you have been wrongfully terminated, it's essential to consult with an experienced employment law attorney who specializes in wrongful termination cases. They may be able to help you establish the basis for a lawsuit, gather evidence, negotiate with your former employer, and potentially file a complaint with the relevant government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Additionally, being informed about your legal rights, collecting relevant evidence, such as employment records, performance evaluations, emails, and witness statements, can significantly strengthen your case. Documenting specific incidents related to your termination and keeping a record of any adverse actions taken against you after initiating protected activities will also be invaluable for building your case.

Navigating the complex area of wrongful termination can be challenging, but understanding the various grounds for it and your legal rights can help protect and assert your interests. If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, seek legal advice promptly to explore your options for justice and compensation. Remember, you have rights as an employee, and you should not hesitate to stand up for them. For more details about Oakland wrongful termination attorney visit our site Brandon Banks Law, APC

7 Deputies And 3 Others Face Murder Charges In A Black Man's Death At Mental Hospital

Seven law enforcement officers and three hospital employees have been charged with second-degree murder over the death of a Black man at a state psychiatric hospital last week, according to a Virginia prosecutor.

Irvo Noel Otieno, 28, was taken into emergency custody on March 3 after experiencing mental health distress.

He spent three days in a local jail in Henrico County, south of Richmond, Va., where his family's lawyer says he was "brutalized" by officers — including being pepper sprayed, stripped naked and deprived of his medications — before being transferred to Central State Hospital, a state-run mental facility in Dinwiddie County.

Otieno was restrained with handcuffs and leg shackles throughout the hospital intake process, according to Dinwiddie County Commonwealth's Attorney Ann Cabell Baskervill. In court on Wednesday, she said videos show that seven sheriff's deputies held him on the ground for some 12 minutes.

"They smothered him to death," she said. "He died of asphyxia due to being smothered."

"This legal tactic is for the purpose of protecting other Henrico County jail residents," she said. "It allows for a justified and immediate removal of these seven individuals from their current capacities."

Baskervill's office named the deputies as Randy Joseph Boyer, 57; Dwayne Alan Bramble, 37; Jermaine Lavar Branch, 45; Bradley Thomas Disse, 43; Tabitha Renee Levere, 50; Brandon Edwards Rodgers, 48; and Kaiyell Dajour Sanders, 30.

Three employees of Central State Hospital had also been charged with second-degree murder in the case, bringing the total number of arrests to 10. -(source: npr)

Uhh maybe 1 random headcanon you have on each Gavinners members and each Global characters

(Also sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well rn, hope everything become better soon for you :c)

- Feychols swap anon

Thank you Feychols swap anon you are so sweet :) Anyway hmmmmm... Gavinners: -Klavier has some burn scars on his hands from the. uh. fire guitar incident. (I don't know how burn scars work) -Daryan went to Themis to become a defense attorney (in a very "competitive with my bff in a fun way" way) but dropped out and just became a detective after finishing Normal School. He's not NOT smart he just didn't want to put in the effort for all of it and honestly. Same. -Luke can be "surprisingly" morbid sometimes. It's not that surprising to people who know him because like. He works with dead bodies all day but to some fans who forget that he's not just an uwu soft boy? seeing him say something like "Yeah if I was trying to kill me I'd slit my throat and then whack me over the head with my own drumsticks but that's just me." is jarring. -Brandon can sew but only a little bit. He knows enough to make. a tube. He needs his long flowy dramatic headbands but it CAN'T fray if it frays he will actually snap so he just makes really long tubes. He is a stronger man than I. -Ham didn't even go to Themis or anything and Klavier and Daryan didn't know him in Middle school because he was in 8th grade while they were in 6th, he was mainly introduced into the friend group via Brandon. (especially since Brandon actually got Into Law Enforcement before the Gavinners were really a thing) uhhhhh Global time: -Penny and Cody are basically siblings to each other now. I know they haven't met in canon but stfu Penny helped him sneak into the studio and they're besties -for a few of his embarrassing preteen years Cody had a minecraft stop motion youtube channel where he just played with his plastic figures. It never got THAT much attention, but if anyone had bothered to watch, they would've noticed the oddly high camera quality and the guy playing Minecraft Steve who kinda sounds like the steel samurai -Will isn't ugly he's just scary to kids looks wise because he has resting kinda mean face. He didn't reveal his face for a while BECAUSE of the kids but you absolutely KNOW that both members of the LGBT community and midwestern suburban moms go fucking wild for him -I think it would be funny if John was lactose intolerant. I was gonna say "probably not lmao" but Zheng Fa is a fictionalized representation of China so he's at least half Chinese and rates of lactose intolerance in Chinese kids his age are about 40% and up to 92% at Adulthood. Basically if John's stomach hasn't betrayed him now it'll DEFINITELY betray him later. -uhhhhh Jack Hammer really resented Will. Part of the reason why he intended to frame Will for Dee's murder is that if he had to be stuck on some crappy kids show he should at least be the star but this guy's first foray into Hollywood nets him a leading role? Unfair -Oldbag doesn't really have any family left so she keeps busy by taking too many jobs and telling people to call her Grandma (please call her Grandma she's so lonely) (yes this is my way of trying to reconcile whatever the fuck was up with her employment situation in AAI and the T&T credits) -Adrian really likes cats. Maybe she adopts Shoe or something IDK - Dee did care about like. Actual Movie Production Quality to SOME extent. She cared about it more pre-Manuel's death but she's still going to be overly critical of Sal's scripts -Sal has not read homestuck. he doesn't know what a Homestuck is. He gets multiple comments a day on his social media things from fans who want to know if he is meanwhile Penny is laughing nervously in the corner (only one person at Global has read Homestuck and I want you to guess who it was) -Matt also likes pet rats along with cats. IDK why I just think he'd vibe with them. They're just little guys. friends you can put on your shoulder. He can't HAVE any because of Shoe but he admires them from afar. Penny shows him Neil Bangin Out The Tunes and he fucking loves it. His phone lock screen is him and shoe. His home screen is Neil.

Federal Jury Rules U.S. Egg Producers Conspired to Fix Prices from 2004 to 2008

Federal Jury Rules U.S. Egg Producers Conspired to Fix Prices from 2004 to 2008The egg farmer faces an uphill battle for the GOP nomination: Federal Jury Rules U.S. Egg Producers Conspired to Fix Prices from 2004 to 2008 U.S. Egg Producers Conspired to Fix Prices: An Illinois jury ruled this week that several major egg producers conspired to limit the U.S.’s supply of eggs in order to raise prices in a lawsuit first filed 12 years ago. Several large food manufacturing companies including Kraft Foods Global, Inc. and The Kellogg Company alleged in the lawsuit originally filed in 2011 that producers used various means to limit the U.S. domestic supply of eggs to increase the prices of eggs and egg products during the 2000s. The time frame of the conspiracy was an issue throughout the case; jurors ultimately determined damages occurred between 2004-2008. A jury unanimously delivered its verdict Tuesday in the Northern District of Illinois and damages will be decided in a trial scheduled for next week. The suppliers include the family company of an Indiana egg farmer running for the U.S. Senate in the state. Attorneys for the four egg suppliers named in the lawsuit did not immediately return phone messages on Wednesday. Court documents show the defendants denied the claims. The jury found that the egg suppliers exported eggs to reduce the overall supply in the domestic market, as well as limiting the number of chickens through means including cage space, early slaughter and flock reduction, court documents say. “We are incredibly pleased by the jury’s decision to hold egg producers Cal-Maine Foods and Rose Acre Farms accountable alongside United Egg Producers and United States Egg Marketers for conspiring to inflate the price of eggs,” Brandon Fox, an attorney representing the food manufacturers, said in a statement. “For the first time, the defendants have been held liable for their antitrust violations. We are now going to turn our attention to the damages phase.” Court documents say the jury found the food manufacturers suffered injury in the timeframe of 2004 to 2008. Jurors were specifically told not to consider more recent egg pricing during their deliberations. Other food manufacturers joining as plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the egg producers are General Mills, Inc. and Nestle USA, Inc. The jury found the egg suppliers who participated in the conspiracy were Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., United Egg Producers, Inc., United States Egg Marketers, Inc. and Rose Acre Farms, Inc., a southern Indiana-based company previously chaired by John Rust. Rust, who is running for Indiana’s U.S. Senate seat in 2024, declined to comment Wednesday citing the ongoing litigation. Rose Acre Farms identifies itself as the second-largest egg producer in the U.S. Rust is currently suing Indiana’s Secretary of State over a contested state law that could prevent his name from getting on the primary ballot as a Republican. According to the law, a candidate must vote in two primaries with the party they are affiliated with or the county party chair must approve their candidacy. Rust has argued the law is unconstitutional and vague. The egg farmer faces an uphill battle for the GOP nomination: Opponent U.S. Rep. Jim Banks has received the endorsement of the Indiana Republican Party and former President Donald Trump. The seat is currently held by Republican Mike Braun, who is instead running for governor next year. “Today’s verdict proves John Rust isn’t just a conman pretending to be a Republican, he is a crook who exploits working class Hoosiers across Indiana for his own financial gain,” Banks said in a written statement. “While Indiana families struggle to put food on the table, he’s making it even harder to do that.” Read More:- Beijing Suffers Double Setback as Pro-China Parties in Taiwan Fail to Unite and Australian Warship Transits Strait Read the full article

Keeping Tabs On Local Judges

Dallas Bar poll isn’t perfect, but it offers valuable insight about our local courts

The Dallas Bar Association finally released its 2023 Judicial Evaluation Poll, a report card on some of the most influential people in Dallas County.

The public needs this useful tool to evaluate the elected officials who have so much power over the lives of people whose legal cases they oversee.

Delayed for more than six months, the poll was published last week.

On the bright side, it shows there are some standouts on the local bench who are widely respected and admired for their work ethic, such as state district Judges Brandon Birmingham and Tonya Parker, far and away the top rated felony and state civil jurists, respectively.

But the results also indicate that a few judges have such a poor reputation in the Dallas legal community that voters should question whether they are fit for the bench.

One of them is state District Judge Amber Givens, the lowest-rated felony judge overall and whom we recently criticized for a docket scheduling stunt.

Givens challenged the validity of her rating, noting in part that only 45 bar association lawyers participated in her evaluation out of the thousands of practicing attorneys in the county.

Givens’ criticism of her poll results might be more persuasive if she weren’t so frequently in the news over multiple controversies.

With the intent to help judges improve, the bar surveys courtroom lawyers who practice in the federal, state and county civil and criminal courts in Dallas.

It asks that respondents only evaluate judges before whom they have practiced.

Attorneys rate judges on six metrics: preparedness, timeliness in ruling, impartiality, knowledge of the law, judicial temperament and overall performance.

Results are routinely issued in odd-numbered years.

If judges do well, we often see them showcase their scores in campaign brochures.

If they don’t, they usually dismiss the poll as a popularity contest.

That’s exactly what state District Judge Staci Williams called it when we asked her to comment on why she received the lowest overall rating among the state civil court judges.

The poll results are “less significant than an election for homecoming queen at a local high school,” Williams told us in an email.

But we don’t see it that way.

The poll isn’t perfect.

We wish more of the bar’s members would participate.

But it is one of the only measures of judicial performance we have. Lawyers who have firsthand knowledge of this and anonymously offer their opinions are providing a valuable public service.

None of the judges who were elected within the last year were evaluated.

But of those who were, the county’s misdemeanor judges overall were the most highly rated.

The lowest-rated overall were the county courts of law judges, who hear civil cases.

The worst was Judge D’Metria Benson, who 84% of respondents said “needs improvement.”

That’s not surprising given she was privately sanctioned by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct in May.

She did not return a message to her court asking for comment.

Judges in other court groupings we examined — the state civil, felony and family courts — had a variety of ratings but were overall average.

As useful as the bar poll is, we will know even more about judicial performance beginning this spring when the state Office of Court Administration begins releasing detailed data on individual court activity.

By adding this data to the bar poll’s results, we deepen our understanding of individual county judges, who have so much power over our lives.
