The motion comes after San Diego County settled a lawsuit filed by a man who was seriously injured in jail for almost $8 million.
Three news organizations have asked a federal judge to order the unsealing of internal Sheriff’s Department records related to people who died or were seriously injured in San Diego County jails.
The Sheriff’s Department and county communications office did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the motion. A county lawyer and human-resources official attend the meetings but are not voting members of the internal panel, the filing adds. The appeals court rejected the argument, and the materials were produced to Greer’s legal team. But they were submitted under seal — a decision now being challenged by the Union-Tribune and other news organizations.
San Diego County jail deaths and injuries at the hands of local deputies have cost taxpayers almost $50 million in legal settlements and jury awards in the past five years, the Union-TribuneGreer, who was arrested in February 2018, was gravely injured after he was booked into county jail.
