Sandra Bland Lawyers Press Court for Investigation Files
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Feb 1, 2016, 3:23 PM ET
Sandra Bland's family is asking a judge to reject arguments from Texas that state Department of Public Safety reports related to the black woman's arrest, jailing and death last summer should be withheld from them.
Texas says it has immunity from damages sought in a lawsuit Bland's family filed after she died in a county jail three days after a contentious traffic stop.
The state's lawyers also contend police records can be withheld under a "law enforcement privilege" that protects files in an ongoing investigation.
The latest motion was filed Friday.
