Trial date set in Alton Sterling civil case

BATON ROUGE - Attorneys representing Alton Sterling's families updated the public on a civil case filed following the 2016 shooting.
Sterling was killed in a struggle with former Baton Rouge Police Officer Blane Salamoni and Officer Howie Lake. BRPD Chief Murphy Paul fired Salamoni and suspended Lake for three days after the state attorney general opted not to pursue criminal charges against the two.
Paul said Salamoni was terminated for how he handled the encounter, adding he did not follow BRPD protocol when he confronted Sterling, nor did he exercise emotional control. Lake was suspended for failing to maintain his composure during the incident.
The families announced a civil suit last year against BRPD. Tuesday morning the attorneys said the trial date is set for April 20, 2020.
According to the group of attorneys present, they received documents about Salamoni which makes them believe he shouldn't have been allowed to carry a gun. One BRPD document shows a superior called Salamoni "borderline nuts" following a fight at a gun range with another offer. One year later, Sterling was killed.
The attorneys are planning to looking into Salamoni's as well as Blake's training by looking through the BRDP training manual as part of the lawsuit.

Convenient its on 4/20

Will they try Judge Judy once they lose this one too?

The $900k GoFundMe wasn't enough?

After watching that body cam footage, they're probably going to get paid well

I seriously doubt this will ever go to trail.

Are you serious? $900k??? Bet they had some checks bounce.

900k in nothing compared to the loving support he gave his family
You can’t put a price on that, well you can if it’s a few million

The judge/jury better take the GoFundMe into account. St. Alton never gave his family $900. I hope it's like some other similar case where the family was awarded $1.

A felon with a weapon that was waving it at someone that called the police was not in the wrong?
Last I checked that was a invitation back to prison.
I am sure if it went to trail they would look at what percentage did Alton play in his death.
Knowing BR they will give his family millions and a key to the city.
