Good News Charlotte County Residents, Sheriff Gives No Specific Promise To Protect You

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s office is battling a major lawsuit from the husband of Denise Lee following her horrific murder. We understand that the county is going to do what it has to in order to protect itself from the lawsuit but filing a motion that says “the agency gave no specific promises that it would protect Denise Lee” doesn’t seem like it would be a winning argument in front of a jury. Whatever happened to the idea of “To Protect And Serve”?

The lawyers for Charlotte County used the argument that there was no specific relationship with Denise Lee compared with the general public according to a story on the Sarasota Herald Tribune. The county’s lawyer hopes the motion will result in the lawsuit being dismissed before a sympathetic jury hears the story of how a 911 operator botched a call that may have saved the young mother’s life.
