Mobile, Alabama Wrongful Death Lawsuit: Dispute Arises Over SWAT Team’s Actions
Wrongful Death Lawsuit Questions SWAT Team’s Role
In Mobile, Alabama there’s a legal fight over a SWAT team’s actions and they’re trying to dismiss a lawsuit about the death of a man named Kordell Jones, according to the crime report of Fox 10. The city says the lawyer for the person suing didn’t follow the rules. They also say there’s not enough proof the city did anything wrong.
The city says the lawyer didn’t file the lawsuit on time. But the lawyer says he did. He even has a paper with a date stamp to prove it. This makes things confusing because both sides disagree.
The lawsuit is about what happened during a SWAT team’s raid on a street in Mobile. They were looking into a robbery. Kordell Jones ended up getting shot by the police. Now, people are debating whether the police did the right thing.

City Asserts Police Integration, Legal Fight Continues
The city’s argument is that the police are part of the city, so they can’t be sued separately. They say the lawsuit needs to prove the police broke the law. But that’s hard to do without knowing who the specific officers were.
The lawyer isn’t giving up. He wants to fix the lawsuit once he knows the officers’ names. This shows the legal fight isn’t over yet. As things move forward, we’ll learn more about what really happened and who’s responsible.
