LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A woman who alleges her son died in custody in 2019 due to the negligence of sheriff's deputies failed to convince a judge today that she is entitled to file a claim beyond the extended time allowed by Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive orders during the pandemic.
In her petition filed Jan. 28 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Jacqueline Cothran asked to be excused for mistakenly missing the Aug. 25, 2020 deadline to bring her claim due to her grief over the Oct. 27, 2019, death of her son, Robert Cothran, and because she was worried about the coronavirus spread.
