The family of a man who stabbed a SoCal deputy with a screwdriver before being shot and killed while he ran away was awarded $13.1 million by a jury in a lawsuit.

Several witness statements described how the deputy retreated backwards, using his hands to cover and shield his face and head while being stabbed by Mr. Monroy,” Bianco said. “At one point, a second man intervened and pulled Mr. Monroy away from the deputy. The suspect was able to break free and again advance toward the deputy [and] at that point, a deputy-involved shooting occurred.”

Morgan & Morgan, for the criminal

this is the end result of letting felons and those in prison vote.

They vote for their interests, which are crime

This is the Hispanic version of winning the ghetto lottery/ This is winning El Barrio lottery. This loony toon is worth more to them (family) dead than alive. This looks like a suicide by cop case.

After reading day after day of such legal travesties, maybe sharia law, bad as it is, could be an improvement?

Cop should have plugged this crazy before he stabbed him multiple times with a screw driver.

The only good thing he ever did for his family.

Crazy’s punishment would be cutting off the hand he used to hold the screwdriver. As he stabbed the poor schmo of a cop numerous times.

That's what they want you to think. That's why they are doing it.

OTOH, what would incarceration expenses and injury to others by the perp over a lifetime cost? Maybe $13 million ain’t so bad?

“Have your mentally deranged kid stab a policeman with a screw driver and hit the $13.1 million dollar jackpot”

Do an MK-ULTRA on the kid, until he finds a cop to stab with a screwdriver from dad’s toolbox.

I would have awarded his family nothing. The victim was not wearing his “dangerous mental patient” warning vest so the public and police would be aware of the danger. The family was grossly negligent in allowing him in public without the vest. The policeman should be suing the family.

Just raise the taxes in that area with a statement that it is because of this judgement.
