Backing the Blue: Lawsuits, Settlements, and the Search for Nancy Guthrie
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association, joins The Ray Stevens show to discuss a landmark legal move in Chicago. After Officer Gregory St. Louis was shot and injured in the line of duty, his legal team filed a lawsuit against the family of the suspect who shot him—a bold "civil counterattack" that Betsy calls "brilliant."
Ray and Betsy dive deep into the trend of police officers seeking civil settlements when they are victims of violence, the current climate of police-community relations in Chicago, and the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Arizona.
