I doubt it was taken on contingency, so it's just a lawyer looking for easy money and free publicity. Anyway, she's reduced the claim all the way down to just the $250 for medical expenses, and she has a separate claim seeking $759 for bullet holes in various places. Please do the right thing and give this latest news the same prominence you gave the original article. http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2009/aug/20/ventura-woman-reduces-claim-for-police-shootout/ She must be gunning for insurance money, or something. I can't think of any other reason she'd be so insistent on getting an "admission of guilt" via a settlement, any settlement, out of the city.

That broad has a lot of gaul. Her city and neighbors ought to be seeking redress from her husband now.
