Prescott said... <br />ON April 7, 2010, a 10 million dollar lawsuit was filed by the family in Fresno, CA Federal Court against the Stanislaus County Sheriff for the wrongful death of EX-Deputy Craig Prescott. Source is the Modesto Bee on 04/08/2010.<br /><br />The Sheriff, Adam Christianson not only covered up the egregious acts of his eight deputies who brutally beat Prescott knowing that he was mentally ill, repeatedly tasered and pepper-balled him, beat him with their ASPs, sat on him while he was on his belly, but made the decision to have him taken off life support after he was admitted to the hospital. Prescott's family was not given the option to leave him on the ventilator even when Craig's wife requested that he be left on an additional twelve hours in order for other family members to arrive. Prescott was deprived of oxygen which led to brain injury and ultimately, brain death. <br /><br />Ironically, Prescott had been released from the sheriff's custody at 8:30am that same morning, yet the sheriff acted as if he was still in charge. Check Modesto Bee Hive for blogs written by people who were eyewitnesses. The ventilator was turned off at 6:30pm.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.com
