SOL will be 1 yr on any civil action unless victim was a minor.   You might put  together a case for criminal charges to be presented to the Grand Jury, but it will be tough and you will need a private investigator.    Any witnesses would help.

James L. Arrasmith · Answer

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son and what you have been through. Losing a loved one in such circumstances is devastating, and it’s understandable that you want justice. You do have options to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. 
 
First, consider filing a wrongful death lawsuit or a civil rights lawsuit under Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act. This can address the use of excessive force and potential medical neglect that may have contributed to your son's death. An attorney with experience in civil rights cases can help you navigate the legal process, collect evidence, and build a strong case. 
 
You might also want to contact organizations that focus on police accountability and prisoners’ rights. They can provide guidance, support, and may connect you with resources to help push for a thorough investigation. Remember, even though three years have passed, you can still seek justice for your son and help bring attention to any broader patterns of abuse.
