AKA the Eggshell Skull rule. I also don’t see how it matters since the underlying cause was still the officers use of force.
TIL. Unfortunately I feel like we live in a post-precedence world. As though somehow they’re going to say, “sure, any normal jury would go with the eggshell rule…but you’re no normal jury are you? You’re special. You can see right through that EsTaBlIsHeD pReCeDeNcE hogwash and make the REAL right call 😈.”
And somehow it will work.
