    Meyer’s 98-year-old mother Joan Meyer, also a co-owner of the newspaper, lived with him and was home at the time of the raid. She collapsed and died the day after the raid, and Meyer blamed her death on the stress of the raid.

    Maybe but at 98 she could have just died at any time

      You could too. I’d even bet had this happened to you that there would be a measurable increase in your risk of death.

      Proximate cause (but if) and preponderance of evidence are what decides that in civil trials. Cody and the county are going to lose on both for her wrongful death suit.
