Urgent Legal Aid Seeking Justice for Douglas Thrasher
Donation protected
I am speaking on behalf of a friend desperate to find a lawyer for a death of his family member that happened while in custody of Saunders County Police.
DOUGLAS A. THRASHER was picked up by police over a warrant that was put on him for a traffic violation to serve 4 days in jail. Allegedly he was taken into custody and put into an isolated cell. Three days into his four day sentence, he was found unconscious & unresponsive in his cell. After almost an hour he was revived and then sedated to be life-flighted to a nearby hospital. He was admitted to ICU and no family was contacted until 3 days later. Doug died shortly after. Medical personnel commented on his thorax being so badly damaged, but yet there were little to no marks on the body. There had been a previous incident where Douglas was taken into custody 2 years prior. After the incident occurred, he issued a complaint in custody, and the Saunders County police ripped it up in front of him..
These are only a few of the numerous inconsistencies surrounding his death. A month has passed with no death certificate, no cause of death, and any information being sought after has led to a dead end. After retaining three separate lawyers and having each one bow out of the case, Garrett now needs more funding to go outside the county to obtain legal help
Please extend any amount of help you can, as his brother is in deep despair, needs representation and needs answers!
