JUSTICE FOR TYRA —
4 YEARS AND STILL WAITING
The District's attorneys, with the approval of Mayor Anthony Williams, are challenging the $2.9 million jury award to Tyra's mother Margie. They refuse to pay the jury's verdict and end the case.
- The District never disciplined the Fire Department employee who insulted Tyra and withdrew emergency medical care, despite statements from four witnesses against him — in fact, the City spent taxpayer dollars defending him in court.
- The Fire Department conducted a sham investigation and never intended to hold anyone accountable for this disgraceful and degrading treatment of a gravely injured citizen.
- The District insults us by arguing that Tyra was used to being called names, so she could not have been too upset at being taunted with insults by a DC employee as she lay bleeding in the street.
- The District threatens the rights of everyone by arguing that citizens are not entitled to take the City to court for violations of the DC Human Rights Law.
