Badge & Bar: Hall hopes to dismiss excessive force lawsuit
Placeholder Image
Hall County’s representation in a civil suit brought by a former Hall County Jail inmate hopes to dismiss the case, saying the county can’t be held liable for a jailer’s actions. Andronico Pedraza filed suit against Hall County on Dec. 23 related to an incident involving former jailer David Pirkle from Dec. 30, 2012. Pirkle pleaded guilty in August 2013 to simple battery for striking Pedraza in the back of the head while handcuffed.
