"content": "\u003cp>A San Francisco Superior Court jury has found the driver of a big-rig truck negligent for striking and killing a 24-year-old woman who was bicycling to Caltrain in the city's South of Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amelie Le Moullac's family \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/18/trial-begins-in-wrongful-death-suit-against-driver-who-killed-bicyclist-amelie-le-moullac\">had sought $20 million\u003c/a> from the driver, Gilberto Alcantar, 47, and Milpitas-based Daylight Foods. On Thursday morning, the jury awarded the family $4 million, and also found Daylight Foods legally responsible for the August 2013 crash at Sixth and Folsom streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most important finding, said Le Moullac's family and their attorneys, was that the jury determined the young woman was not at fault, as police initially alleged and defense attorneys had argued in the monthlong trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This was not a mere accident, and I’m relieved to hear from the jury that something wrong was done, and I’m very sorry that the police missed that,\" said Denis Le Moullac, Amelie's father. \"One can only be relieved to hear that our daughter had done nothing wrong. This is not really something that deeply consoles us, but it satisfies us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le Moullac said he went to the site of the fatal collision last night, and saw for the first time that the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency had reconfigured the bike lane, and painted it green to make it safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wish that the streets of San Francisco become safer for cyclists, and that this doesn’t happen to other people,\" said Jessie Jewitt, Le Moullac's mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police initially blamed Le Moullac but later faulted Alcantar after surveillance video was uncovered by a San Francisco Bicycle Coalition staffer. However, prosecutors \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/13/no-charges-for-driver-in-death-of-bicyclist-amelie-le-moullac\">declined to file charges\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sloppy investigation, and \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2013/08/21/at-safe-streets-rally-sfpd-blocks-bike-lane-to-make-point-of-victim-blaming/\">a police sergeant's victim-blaming tirade \u003c/a>at a memorial for Le Moullac, led to an apology from Police Chief Greg Suhr. The department's top brass pledged to reform how police investigate collisions caused by drivers who injure bicyclists and pedestrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney William Veen argued that Le Moullac was pedaling eastbound on Folsom Street when Alcantar made an illegal and unsafe maneuver into the bike lane, where he struck and killed her while turning southbound onto Sixth Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In closing arguments Friday, Veen described the seconds leading up to the collision, pointing to a large diagram of the intersection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By the time she could do anything about this, we were at the point of no return,\" said Veen. \"It was unavoidable, like a piece of artillery shell falling over you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A blown-up photo of Le Moullac, shown above, was placed before the jury, along with the victim's damaged bike. Veen implored the panel to hold Alcantar and Daylight Foods accountable for Le Moullac's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point in closing, defense attorney Kevin Taylor argued there was no physical evidence the truck ran over Le Moullac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a case of two well-intentioned people that accidentally had an accident, and one of them suffered greatly,\" Taylor said. \"We wouldn't wish this on anybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor argued that once the bike lane becomes dashed and drivers are allowed to enter it and turn, it becomes a shared lane where \"the burden shifts to bicyclists to think, 'What do I have to do to protect myself as I approach the intersection?' \" He claimed Le Moullac ran into the truck and was wearing earbuds that prevented her from hearing nearby traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veen later countered: \"She's in her own separate bike lane. She has the right of way and nothing to indicate he's coasting, nothing going on, no sound, nothing, nothing to indicate it to her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the collision had also taken a toll on Alcantar, who \"carries a heavy burden.\" The Le Moullac family's attorneys said Alcantar is no longer driving a truck for Daylight Foods, and is doing other work for the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury deliberated over four days before reaching a verdict. The trial started Dec. 18.\u003c/p>\n\n",

On Thursday morning, the jury awarded the family $4 million, and also found Daylight Foods legally responsible for the August 2013 crash at Sixth and Folsom streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most important finding, said Le Moullac's family and their attorneys, was that the jury determined the young woman was not at fault, as police initially alleged and defense attorneys had argued in the monthlong trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This was not a mere accident, and I’m relieved to hear from the jury that something wrong was done, and I’m very sorry that the police missed that,\" said Denis Le Moullac, Amelie's father. \"One can only be relieved to hear that our daughter had done nothing wrong. This is not really something that deeply consoles us, but it satisfies us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le Moullac said he went to the site of the fatal collision last night, and saw for the first time that the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency had reconfigured the bike lane, and painted it green to make it safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, prosecutors \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/13/no-charges-for-driver-in-death-of-bicyclist-amelie-le-moullac\">declined to file charges\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sloppy investigation, and \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2013/08/21/at-safe-streets-rally-sfpd-blocks-bike-lane-to-make-point-of-victim-blaming/\">a police sergeant's victim-blaming tirade \u003c/a>at a memorial for Le Moullac, led to an apology from Police Chief Greg Suhr. The department's top brass pledged to reform how police investigate collisions caused by drivers who injure bicyclists and pedestrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney William Veen argued that Le Moullac was pedaling eastbound on Folsom Street when Alcantar made an illegal and unsafe maneuver into the bike lane, where he struck and killed her while turning southbound onto Sixth Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In closing arguments Friday, Veen described the seconds leading up to the collision, pointing to a large diagram of the intersection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By the time she could do anything about this, we were at the point of no return,\" said Veen. \"It was unavoidable, like a piece of artillery shell falling over you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A blown-up photo of Le Moullac, shown above, was placed before the jury, along with the victim's damaged bike. Veen implored the panel to hold Alcantar and Daylight Foods accountable for Le Moullac's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point in closing, defense attorney Kevin Taylor argued there was no physical evidence the truck ran over Le Moullac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a case of two well-intentioned people that accidentally had an accident, and one of them suffered greatly,\" Taylor said. \"We wouldn't wish this on anybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor argued that once the bike lane becomes dashed and drivers are allowed to enter it and turn, it becomes a shared lane where \"the burden shifts to bicyclists to think, 'What do I have to do to protect myself as I approach the intersection?' \" He claimed Le Moullac ran into the truck and was wearing earbuds that prevented her from hearing nearby traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veen later countered: \"She's in her own separate bike lane. She has the right of way and nothing to indicate he's coasting, nothing going on, no sound, nothing, nothing to indicate it to her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the collision had also taken a toll on Alcantar, who \"carries a heavy burden.\" The Le Moullac family's attorneys said Alcantar is no longer driving a truck for Daylight Foods, and is doing other work for the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury deliberated over four days before reaching a verdict. The trial started Dec. 18.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The response was that the report “is a substantial undertaking, and our interest is in the review being accurate, complete and meaningful. As such, we anticipate it being completed within the next few months.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: How many and what type of injuries were reported to both officers and the public?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Injuries to officers included a \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/12/police-review-commission-asks-for-suspension-of-tear-gas/\" target=\"_blank\">serious shoulder injury, a back injury, as well as numerous abrasions, bruises and other injuries\u003c/a>. We’re not aware of a specific number of people [outside the department] who may have reported injuries. We’d refer you to [the Berkeley Fire Department] regarding calls they may have received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: Why was tear gas used? How many times was it used throughout the night of Dec. 6-7?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Our strategy has never emphasized tear gas as a fundamental component. We have a number of tools available. Non-irritant smoke, tear gas, and foam baton rounds were used as defensive measures, dependent on the situation facing officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Addison and Martin Luther King, on Dec. 6, officers were struck with bricks, rocks, pipes and other dangerous objects. Smoke was used to move people away and stop the attack on officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Telegraph Avenue, officers were again struck by rocks, bottles and other dangerous objects. Smoke, tear gas and foam baton rounds were deployed only after repeated dispersal orders had been given; officers on police lines — giving clear instructions — were met with resistance from crowds; and where officers were unable to move without encountering resistance and attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By policy, dispersal orders are given repeatedly in order to allow people to move away from the area, should they choose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We understand that seeing force used by officers can be disturbing to some. However, use of these tools allowed officers to bring an end to an unlawful and dangerous situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are aware of instances of masked agitators within the crowd using threats, intimidation and physical violence towards others in the crowd, assaulting or intimidating journalists, peaceful protestors, and community members who were video recording or simply trying to prevent destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: What other tactics were used?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Our focus throughout each night has been to facilitate peaceful demonstrations of first amendment expression. We began with an intentionally low-key approach. We attempt to contact organizers at the beginning of each march. We block traffic to ensure safety when the march is underway. We use Nixle to inform the community about protest location and direction to mitigate traffic issue and ensure marchers’ safety. Our response at any given moment depends on numerous factors, from the resources available, the ability to move our officers effectively to address problems, and the size and actions of the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: How many officers have been working to handle the demonstrations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Throughout the first five days, the number of officers varied from day to day. The Berkeley Police Department staffed approximately 80-100 officers each day, including patrol and protest-related assignments. This required the canceling of days off for all personnel. Regarding mutual aid assistance, the number varied from 100-200+ officers depending on the day and time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: Which departments assisted?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Department assistance for planned events is obtained through the County’s Mutual Aid system, whereby additional officers are requested through and coordinated by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. At one time or another most of the police departments in Alameda County, along with departments in San Mateo and Solano counties, provided assistance. Assistance was as little as a few officers from smaller agencies, to dozens of officers from larger agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: Which departments used force? Might officers from other departments used a more aggressive approach?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: BPD does not track use of force by other agencies. Agencies assisting the Berkeley Police Department arrive with and utilize the vehicles and equipment they routinely train with, in accordance with the individual agencies’ departmental directives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: What type of review will take place?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: There will be several reviews of available information, including video and photographic evidence, which will help provide a complete and factual picture of the events of last week. Thorough review will take time, but a responsible and constructive discussion of these events must be based on fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED News Associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeleyside\u003c/a> is an independently owned news website based in Berkeley. \u003ca href=\"http://eepurl.com/lh_3b\" target=\"_blank\">Click here\u003c/a> if you would you like to receive the latest Berkeley news in your inbox once a day for free with Berkeleyside's Daily Briefing email.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The response was that the report “is a substantial undertaking, and our interest is in the review being accurate, complete and meaningful. As such, we anticipate it being completed within the next few months.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: How many and what type of injuries were reported to both officers and the public?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Injuries to officers included a \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/12/police-review-commission-asks-for-suspension-of-tear-gas/\" target=\"_blank\">serious shoulder injury, a back injury, as well as numerous abrasions, bruises and other injuries\u003c/a>. We’re not aware of a specific number of people [outside the department] who may have reported injuries. We’d refer you to [the Berkeley Fire Department] regarding calls they may have received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: Why was tear gas used? How many times was it used throughout the night of Dec. 6-7?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Our strategy has never emphasized tear gas as a fundamental component. We have a number of tools available. Non-irritant smoke, tear gas, and foam baton rounds were used as defensive measures, dependent on the situation facing officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Addison and Martin Luther King, on Dec. 6, officers were struck with bricks, rocks, pipes and other dangerous objects. Smoke was used to move people away and stop the attack on officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Telegraph Avenue, officers were again struck by rocks, bottles and other dangerous objects. Smoke, tear gas and foam baton rounds were deployed only after repeated dispersal orders had been given; officers on police lines — giving clear instructions — were met with resistance from crowds; and where officers were unable to move without encountering resistance and attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By policy, dispersal orders are given repeatedly in order to allow people to move away from the area, should they choose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We understand that seeing force used by officers can be disturbing to some. However, use of these tools allowed officers to bring an end to an unlawful and dangerous situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are aware of instances of masked agitators within the crowd using threats, intimidation and physical violence towards others in the crowd, assaulting or intimidating journalists, peaceful protestors, and community members who were video recording or simply trying to prevent destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: What other tactics were used?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Our focus throughout each night has been to facilitate peaceful demonstrations of first amendment expression. We began with an intentionally low-key approach. We attempt to contact organizers at the beginning of each march. We block traffic to ensure safety when the march is underway. We use Nixle to inform the community about protest location and direction to mitigate traffic issue and ensure marchers’ safety. Our response at any given moment depends on numerous factors, from the resources available, the ability to move our officers effectively to address problems, and the size and actions of the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: How many officers have been working to handle the demonstrations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Throughout the first five days, the number of officers varied from day to day. The Berkeley Police Department staffed approximately 80-100 officers each day, including patrol and protest-related assignments. This required the canceling of days off for all personnel. Regarding mutual aid assistance, the number varied from 100-200+ officers depending on the day and time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: Which departments assisted?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: Department assistance for planned events is obtained through the County’s Mutual Aid system, whereby additional officers are requested through and coordinated by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. At one time or another most of the police departments in Alameda County, along with departments in San Mateo and Solano counties, provided assistance. Assistance was as little as a few officers from smaller agencies, to dozens of officers from larger agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: Which departments used force? Might officers from other departments used a more aggressive approach?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: BPD does not track use of force by other agencies. Agencies assisting the Berkeley Police Department arrive with and utilize the vehicles and equipment they routinely train with, in accordance with the individual agencies’ departmental directives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Q: What type of review will take place?\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: There will be several reviews of available information, including video and photographic evidence, which will help provide a complete and factual picture of the events of last week. Thorough review will take time, but a responsible and constructive discussion of these events must be based on fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But building her legal case is forcing the sisters to confront a painful family secret.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past couple months, they’ve been working with a well-known pro bono attorney by the name of Jennifer Horne.

Each member of the Board of Supervisors received a copy, as did San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr and Police Commission President Suzy Loftus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco resident Teresa Sheehan, who is diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, is suing San Francisco and the police department after the shooting left her severely injured. Her \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/241408998/Teresa-Sheehan-Complaint\" target=\"_blank\">lawsuit \u003c/a>alleges the SFPD violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when officers used confrontational tactics despite knowing she was having a psychiatric crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Incident\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a summer day in 2008, SFPD officers Kimberly Reynolds and Katherine Holder responded to a social worker’s call about Sheehan’s behavior. Sheehan was living in a Mission District co-op for people with mental illness at the time. When the social worker went to check on her, she threatened him with a knife. When the officers arrived, she threatened to stab them, too, then shut the door to her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers re-entered her room by force.

The officers shot her multiple times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehan was charged with assault.

From the 9th Circuit opinion:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Turning to an issue of first impression, we join the majority of circuits that have addressed the issue and hold that Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to arrests.
