Michael Brown Sr. and Lezley McSpadden, in December court filings, asked U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber in St. Louis to at least limit if not scuttle altogether a push by the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, its former police chief and the officer who shot their son to turn over the documents.

Depo and discovery—the price you pay for being a plaintiff. Maybe Obama can do a mission in February—lol

As my stupid exwife found out when she took me to court for more child support, discovery works both ways.

His school record and criminal record would surely impact his future earnings. They seem highly relevant.

Yup.

And basic discovery at that, if they are pursuing a loss of future support claim.

What wages? As soon as the law caught up with him, he was going to spend the biggest part of his life locked up. Like Saint Travon, he was worth more dead than alive.

My thoughts exactly. They do not have a leg to stand on save their own self-perceived victim superiority. They are not going to win with a rational jury. Just money grubbing grafter entitlement ghouls.
