Marine's widow sues CHP and the San Diego Sherrif's Office

Robert Medina Jennifer Medina says the CHP and sheriff's deputies shot her husband 37-times, killing him, after a low-speed chase in what she calls a case of racial profiling. Medina was hispanic. She filed a federal civil rights lawsuit here in San Diego last week, asking for punitive and other damages.

Media reports at the time said that police shot a "suspected drunken-driver," that refused to pull over but then later noted that at least one of the officers involved was the subject of an excessive force investigation.

The family and their lawyers have more information on the case at http://justice4medina.com.

Nice that you leave a spot to comment anonymously but require one to list their name and e-mail.

Emails aren't published and who said you had to use your real name?
