Attorney Peter M. Villari represents the family of one of the three Camden, N.J. youths who suffocated last month in the trunk of a car. Not surprisingly, Villari says he’s considering filing suit over the incident against the city of Camden, whose police department has been widely criticized for not thinking to check the trunk of the beat-up 1992 Camry after the boys went missing although it was parked steps from where they’d last been seen.
