Just curious? Would Lael Collins have a case against the BRPD?

Have very little legal knowledge myself, but if he chose to, could Lael Collins come around and sue the BRPD for the millions of dollars he lost because of them? What would it take for him to have a case?
Just asking for curiosity's sake, not hoping for it or anything like that.

No. What kind of a hot mess would we have if police could not investigate by the book? Police did nothing wrong. Neither did Collins. It was just an unfortunate case of horrible timing.

Doubt it, all they asked was for him to answer a few questions and submit to a DNA test.

Huh? They did their job. They can't refuse to investigate every LSU player.

Somebody Lael had relationships with got murdered. BRPD had every right to question Lael.

It doesn't take any legal knowledge to know that being able to sue a police department and recover for them doing their job isn't a good idea

Probably not now. The way it worked out for him he made the same or more money getting to handle his contract the way he did than if he was drafted and stuck with the rookie pay scale contract structuring.
Either way he wouldn't. They asked him to come in and talk. He refused said he was going to the draft. So they went public. He could have gone in and cleared it up before the draft and would have been ok.

Only case he could possibly have would be against the NFL for clearly colluding to not draft him. Which clearly happened for the first 1-5 rounds.
But it would be impossible to prove and he would be suing the team that signs his checks.

Didn't Collins advisors give him horrible advice on answering questions? Sounds like he should have a beef with the guys in his ear.

I was thinking maybe a case against the news media if anybody

Actually, I think he is very happy to end up on Team Dallas instead of being drafted by some shite show like Cleveland or NY Jets.

Was the case ever solved?

Sovereign immunity. Without recklessly criminal acts by the govt, no cause of action
Posted on 7/26/17 at 8:18 pm to beantown
No they were simply investigating, no liability

If he had a case against anyone it would be the NFL, especially if there was evidence they colluded against him.

Tort law doesn't extend to damages caused by police doing their jobs, as long as they weren't negligent.
Sucks for LC. But trust me, you don't want that type of liability for public safety departments.

No he wouldn't have a case. The timing sucked no doubt ,but questioning someone about a crime would not warrant a lawsuit. Also he was not charged with a crime.
