Q: If I am court ordered to see a doctor in jail but detention officer tells me I have the right to refuse, why am I charge
Charged with attempted agg assault for refusing to see doctor and the police report never mentioned officer for giving me permission to refuse. Do I have a case for 1983 civil lawsuit? Because officers definitly used excessive force while removing me from cell and I suffer neck and back injuries with no medical attention and they have yet to give me video of that incident and both public defenders say I have the right to property as evidence but it was never showed in court or released to me and I was force to plead guilty for something I didn't do
A: Your question is not very clear but make sure you don't let the statute of limitations run on your 1983 claim. Contact a civil plaintiff attorney ASAP for more answers. Suits against the state have strict time limitations, some but probably not all have already lapsed in your case.
