Possibly, but given the nature of the police and judicial systems I have a feeling that only the taxpayers and the doctors are going to pay for this. The city will pay up big but the officers will at best be taken of the street for a week or two (with pay) and the superiors might get a stern talking to from the cheif. The judge will see no repercussions at all. The only way Eckert will see real justice is if he uses his upcoming millions to destroy the lives of these "public servants."
The lesson they will learn is next time have an unfortunate accident happen in the hospital that results in death.
