@standinginfaith
Thank-you so much for your comments.
There's a lot to be said about our legal system. I never realized just how messed up it is. In Nebraska the statute of limitations is two years for Wrongful Death claims, that's what I read over and over again. What they don't make so clear is that if it's against a government agency you have to file a notice to the agency within 60 days or your claim is barred.
Here's the kicker...I made three separate requests for the 911 call logs, investigation reports, autopsy findings, etc.
The Sheriff's Department sent me a voicemail refusing all documents due to apparent investigation. Nebraska Statutes states denials are to be in writing and each denial must have specific statute defined reason per requested document.
Sorry I'm rambling, point is I made 3 separate requests and finally got all documents in April. My son passed in January.
Again statute of limitations 60 days.
Clearly a loophole for government agencies to evade accountability as if the immunity clause is not a hurdle in itself.
It's just sad that it's set up like that, and that most people are not aware of such things until they are affected and even then, what do you do?
Sorry again for rambling.
And thank-you for your comments. God Bless You

@jimz72 Your legal system needs revised!! Since you got the information late and they are required to do it in writing you may still have a case.. I googled..Legal Services Corp, LawHelp and ABA (free law answers are free) ..also Probono and contingency attorneys.. it's clear the Law Enforcement did this on purpose..(to me)..I'm not an attorney..(but faced the wrongful death against the VA when my husband passed 14 years ago.. since they rule about themselves I lost..after 9 inches of binder as a letter thu my State Congressional rep's office..) you might try your Representatives or other folks in the same horrible bind.. talk to the news media.. (I attended Town Hall meeting and talked to the news..after the VA pathologist was found to have been working under the influence of some substance he injected and it made him drunk like.. 33,000 biopsies had to be redone.long story ..but you can believe ..when it first started I had a private meeting with the head of the VA (about 12 people) and was backed up by that states Congressional reps whom I had called .(he had cancer and I finally had to call the Patient Advocate in DC to get him a a biopsy..long story).. the Washington Post called me "looking for a widow to talk to" and I told them they got the right one and gave them all the do-do.. a week later he was brought up on Manslaughter charges..(not saying I did that ) and is serving time for 3 counts of manslaughter.. I also face the time limit constraint when I had the EEOC doing a discrimination case for me back in the 90's .. very frustrating.. and just deplorable that the discount your son's life in such a manner.. please know that I feel your frustrating.. couple with grief it must be so very difficult.. ultimately give it to God..(IDK your religious preferences..but we serve a big and mighty and just God... forgiveness is the key and never easier done than said.... If you stand praying forgive.. He is your vindicator...put God on the case.. ask Him to help you..He will open window and doors you could never open yourself). I thin your state laws need changed!! And I am asking Jesus to send ministering (and waring) angels to help you... Praying for you!!
